ABSTRACT:
A cervical collar includes a generally annular support brace which, in use, is receivable about and circumferentially surrounds a wearer's neck and is generally supportable on the wearer's shoulders and upper torso. The support brace includes a pair of vertically-spaced-apart, interconnected and generally horizontally-disposed, arcuate, upper and lower support members, each having a front central portion and rear opposite terminal end portions which, in use, are disposed generally adjacent to the front and rear of the wearer's neck, respectively. The support brace also has adjustable and releasable rear straps for joining the terminal end portions of the support members together. A chin support is also provided for engaging and supporting the chin of the wearer, which is mounted on the support brace.
