Application
How to measure for a Cervical Collar:
As the patient stands, have him/her look directly forward (not up or down), so that when viewed from the side, one can visualize an imaginary right angle between his/her line of sight, and the long access of his/her body. This ensures that the patients neck is in the neutral position. Take a simple neck circumference measurement.
How to put the Cervical Collar on:
• Remove the Cervical Collar from the packaging
• Unfasten the Velcro strap
• Apply the collar snugly once the fitting is complete
• Fasten the Velcro strap to the size of the neck in which it feels comfortable
