Rigid plastic and foam cervical neck collar "Aspen" type provide excellent support and comfort, with key components for better patient outcomes. The structure of the collar is designed to provide substantial motion restriction without producing pressure points that can lead to skin breakdown or poor patient compliance. The shell distributes and transfers head weight to the shoulders and upper back. For the ultimate in comfort, all contact surfaces of the collar are cushioned with soft breathable foam padding that wick moisture. The Aspen cervical collar has velcro-type straps that make it adjustable for a good fit.
 

Features
Effective Motion Restriction
The motion restriction provided by similar type collar has been scientifically evaluated. Utilizing videofluoroscopy, researchers have seen both the translation and angulation of each vertebral segment through the entire range of motion.
 
Minimal Skin Breakdown
This collar minimize skin breakdown while providing substantial motion restriction. The structural elements of the collars have been designed to spread support across broad contact surfaces essentially eliminating “hot-spots” that can cause decubitus ulcers. Research has proven that skin contact pressures below the capillary closing threshold.
 
Custom Support
The flexible tabs allow the collar to conform to each patient as it is tightened for a true custom fit.
