ABI cervical collar hard

ABI cervical collar hard is a rigid neck brace made of durable plastic or polyethylene, designed to immobilize and stabilize the cervical spine.​

Indications

Used for trauma, spinal injuries, post-surgery recovery, whiplash, or conditions requiring greater neck restriction than soft collars, such as fractures or during emergency transport.​

Features

Provides superior immobilization (up to 59% in flexion) compared to soft collars, with a hard shell, padded lining, and adjustable Velcro straps for secure fit.​

Usage

Fit snugly around neck without gaps; wear as prescribed, typically short-term to avoid muscle weakening. Clean regularly and monitor skin for pressure sores.​

Precautions

Less comfortable than soft collars; prolonged use risks atrophy or sores. Consult physician for sizing and duration; not for minor pain relief.​
