Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear this collar during an X-ray or CT scan?
Yes. The collar is designed with X-ray transparent fixings, allowing for clear medical imaging without the need to remove the stabilizer and risk cervical movement.
Why are there two pieces?
The two-piece construction is specifically designed for emergency and clinical safety. It allows medical professionals to fit the collar to a patient without having to move or lift their head, which is critical in cases of suspected spinal trauma.
What is the purpose of the hole in the front?
The tracheal opening provides two vital functions: it promotes ventilation for skin health and provides healthcare providers with immediate, direct access to the trachea if an emergency medical procedure is required.
