Vissco Core 0314 Philadelphia Collar Medium 1

Vissco Core 0314 Philadelphia Collar Medium is used for stabilising the neck and immobilising the cervical spine effectively. Its two-piece construction ensures a secure fit, providing firm support to the neck and head. The collar is specifically designed to reduce head and neck movement, which is crucial for individuals recovering from spinal injuries or surgeries. By limiting movement, it supports the healing process and reduces the risk of further injury. It is particularly useful in post-trauma immobilisation, helping stabilise the cervical spine after injuries such as fractures, sprains or strains. It also assists in conditions like disc herniation and cervical nerve root irritation. The collar is made from EVA foam, which offers high durability and heat resistance, ensuring long-term use without compromising comfort. It also features a large tracheostomy opening, allowing for quick access to the carotid pulse and facilitating the use of an endotracheal tube if necessary. This design enhances its utility in medical settings. It is equipped with hook and loop straps, which ensure optimal adjustment and comfort. This feature allows for a customisable fit, accommodating different neck sizes and providing a secure hold.
