Trauma Collar

Featuring a range of comfort and performance-driven components, this cervical collar is designed to deliver optimized stabilization, pressure reduction, and a precise fit for a wide variety of patient anatomies. Its open-cell padding, adjustable height system, and anatomically contoured panels work together to improve support, comfort, and clinical outcomes.

Features

Open-Cell Padding
Provides optimal rebound velocity while the nylon blend liner enhances heat mitigation and moisture control.

Large Trach Opening

Easy Pull and Turn Dial
Simple adjustment to 60 incremental height settings provides a more customized fit and accommodates a wide range of anatomies.

Thoracic Pad

Horizontal Flex
Adapts to larger anatomies.

20° Back Panel
An anatomically correct back panel designed to mirror the patient’s cervical lordosis.

Quick-Clip Closure
Replicates the clinician’s initial fit at home to ensure consistent performance.

Clinical Benefits

Reduced Pressure

• Greater occipital pressure distribution helps reduce the risk of pressure injuries (never events).
• 20° cervical lordosis built into the posterior panel promotes anatomically correct patient positioning, increased immobilization, and reduced pressure for supine patients.

Increased Stability

• Larger posterior panel stabilizes the C-spine by capturing a greater area above the occiput, resulting in improved stability and immobilization.
• Restricts cervical motion during anterior displacement test case study¹.
• Significantly reduces axial rotation end-range ROM at the C1–C2 level compared to two other collars tested in a dynamic imaging study on healthy subjects².

Precise Fit

• Quick-Clip closure system enables easy and repeatable donning and doffing.
• Universal sizing with 60 micro-adjustment settings captures a broader patient population, including individuals with shorter or wider necks.
• Pre-contoured out of the bag — no manual shaping required.
