ABSTRACT:
A cervical collar for circumferential placement around the neck of a wearer in order to form a relatively rigid structure around the neck that is capable of bending circumferentially around the neck for a close fit thereon. A soft base is in confronting relationship to the neck. A splint assembly is fixed to the outer surface of the base and includes a plurality of parallel spaced apart upright splints that are uniformly distributed around the neck when the collar is installed thereon. The splints are separated by an expanse of material which forms a hinge. The hinge permits bending of the collar around the neck while holding the splints in place. Ventilation openings can be located in the spacing between adjacent splints in order to provide ventilation to the neck, facilitate bending of the collar about the neck, and to lessen the weight thereof.
