The Philadelphia Collar is a medical-grade, rigid cervical orthosis engineered to immobilize the neck by restricting flexion, extension, and lateral motion. It features an adjustable two-piece design—front and back shells—that secure around the neck with hook-and-loop fasteners, delivering stable alignment in a neutral posture.
🧩 Design & Materials
-
Constructed from hypoallergenic, latex‑free EVA foam with embedded rigid plastic reinforcements to ensure structural support without discomfort
-
The two-piece design allows easy application and removal, with precise sizing ensuring the chin rests comfortably in the chin cup and the collar aligns with the sternal notch
✅ Key Benefits & Applications
-
Rigid Stabilization: Prevents cervical movement in cases of trauma, whiplash, fractures, or post-surgical recover
-
Pain Relief & Healing Support: Minimizes muscle strain and reduces movement-related pain while promoting healing and nerve recovery
-
Medical Imaging Compatible: Safe for X-ray, CT, and MRI examinations without removal in most cases
📋 Proper Fit & Usage Guidelines
-
Fitment should be done by a trained medical professional, measuring neck height and circumference to select the appropriate collar size
-
The collar should be snug enough for immobilization, yet allow light movement and two-finger clearance to avoid circulation issues or pressure sores
-
Daily hygiene: clean with mild soap and warm water; air dry—avoid heat sources to prevent deformation
