ABSTRACT:
A cervical spine collar comprising a superstructure and a distracting cuff. The superstructure is molded into a configuration having occipital buttresses and mandible contours on a superior surface while an inferior surface has a longitudinal extending slot. The slot receives an upper portion of a fin having attached to a lower portion an inflatable balloon, the fin and balloon comprising a detachable distracting cuff. The distracting cuff may also be permanently attached to the inferior surface of the superstructure. When the distracting cuff is in position relative to the superstructure and the invention collar is secured to a victim having possible cervical spine injury, the inflatable balloon is inflated thereby forcing the head and neck of the victim into a posture that relieves pressure on the cervical spine area and prohibits possible damaging extension/flexion movement by the victim.
