ABSTRACT:
An improved cervical spine collar which takes the anatomy of the patient's lower head and upper torso into account comprising a rear section, left and right pliable sections, left and right side sections, left and right adaptation grooves, and left and right front sections. The rear section has an extension block and upper and lower comfort edges. The pliable sections permit the collar to bend to fit about the patient's neck and head. The side sections are sufficiently rigid to prevent lateral flexion and have support fins for support and comfort. The front sections collectively comprise a mandible buttress to block flexion and have a shoulder support, chin rotation blocks and cricochyrodectomy passage which may be used without obstructing placement, use or removal of the collar. The collar may be adjusted to fit various neck sizes through the use of optional side adjustments and inflatable tubes.
