Semi-Rigid Cervical Collar with Tracheal Opening

Title: Philadelphia Cervical Collar with Tracheostomy Opening – Rigid Immobilization

Description: The Philadelphia cervical collar offers rigid immobilization of the cervical spine. This two-piece, non-elastic design features an anatomical shape with contoured support pads for the occiput and chin. Constructed from high-density ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) with added plastic reinforcement elements and ventilation holes for breathability and comfort. The collar's secure, adjustable Velcro closure ensures a customized fit. A strategically placed opening accommodates tracheostomy tubes.

Features:

• Rigid Cervical Spine Immobilization: Anatomical design and high-density EVA material provide superior immobilization and offload of the cervical spine, limiting movement and preventing pressure on vessels, nerves, and the spinal cord.
• Enhanced Breathability: Ventilation holes minimize skin maceration and promote air circulation for enhanced patient comfort.
• Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The collar is easily cleaned and disinfected, maintaining hygiene during prolonged use.
• Radiolucent Design: Allows for clear imaging during X-ray and other diagnostic procedures.
• Tracheostomy Tube Accommodation: Features a dedicated opening (compatible with SS-229 and similar tubes) for tracheostomy tube placement, facilitating pulmonary ventilation in cases of upper airway obstruction due to trauma or disease.
• Comfortable and Durable: Designed for comfortable, long-term wear.

Intended Use: Provides rigid fixation and stabilization of the cervical spine.
