ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an emergency medical cervical collar suitable for land or water rescue operations. The collar more completely immobilizes the cervical portion of the victim's spine, and can be rapidly placed on the victim with minimal disturbance to the cervical portion of the spine. The collar includes generally U-shaped front and rear halves which are flexible, light weight, non-toxic, water resistant and buoyant in water. A flexible strap fastener is coupled to the rear collar half. Strap fastener guides are coupled to the front collar half so as to swivel thereon. Opposite end portions of the strap fastener are threaded through the strap fastener guides, and the strap fastener end portions are folded back and drawn evenly through the guides. The guides swivel as the collar halves are drawn together whereby the collar halves self-align. Each end portion of the strap fastener is provided with fastener material, and portion of the strap fastener therebetween is provided with mating fastener material so that the strap fastener end portions can be folded back and releasably attached to the portion therebetween whereby the collar halves are securely joined together as aligned. A second flexible strap fastener is coupled to the rear collar half so as to swivel thereon. The second strap fastener is looped around the person's head including the person's forehead, to prevent rotation or side-to-side movement of the head. A pad member is slideably mounted on the second strap fastener and is provided with a friction surface for engaging the person's forehead.
