ABSTRACT:
Devices for immobilizing cervical cord injuries and applying localized temperature gradients to injured cervical cord areas. Cervical collars according to the present invention comprise a forward section and a rear section held together by fastening means such as hook and loop fasteners. The rear sections contain cavities for receiving a cooling or heating medium such as endothermic chemical packs, refrigeration coils or containers of hot or cold materials. Localized hypothermia or hyperthermia can thus be induced according to the present invention minutes or perhaps hours earlier than otherwise possible in an effort to increase the prospect of favorable prognosis for recovery of limb function.
