XCollar Plus Cervical Spine Immobilisation System (Orange)

The XCollar Plus is designed to splint the cervical spine by securing the head to the torso of the patient above C-1 and below C-7; on two points anterior and two points posterior.

This splinting system utilises bi-lateral and vertical adjustments to obtain a customised fit for both the desired circumference and height of large adult and small paediatric patients; working to increase patient safety by minimising potential cervical spinal distraction and injury.

An important feature of the XCollar Plus is the integrated Head Restraint System (HRS), which replaces the use of head blocks, towels, or tape.

Every XCollar Plus is constructed with one HRS featuring an integrated set of Velcro straps which are used with the XCollar Plus to secure the patient to the backboard which minimises any lateral or vertical movement. The HRS also includes a height-adjustable Occipital Support Pad to ensure the proper patient spinal alignment.
