C-Collar

The Philadelphia Cervical Collar is a rigid, two-piece cervical orthosis designed for cervical spine immobilization following trauma, surgery, or instability. Composed of rigid plastic shells with removable foam padding, it restricts flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending to protect the spinal cord during healing. Used in emergency departments, trauma centers, operating rooms, and pre-hospital settings, it is a standard device for spinal motion restriction. Proper sizing, skin integrity monitoring, and neurological assessment are critical for safe and effective use.
