How to fit a Cervical Collar

A Cervical Collar or a Neck Brace is an orthopedic collar that can help relieve pain and realign the spinal cord. The Cervical Collar supports the head and spinal cord of a patient after neck injuries and during the healing process.



This Philly EMT's Choice Collar for example is molded from high-density polyethylene with foam padding and features a patented chin support for maximum protection and comfort. A pre-molded level chain support maintains neutral alignment and provides mandible support that adapts to the individual patients unique jaw line.


Unlike many other cervical collars, the Philly collar is easy and quick to apply in either a supine or a seated position. It features an oversized trachea opening for quick access to carotid pulse monitoring and emergency tracheotomies.
