Cervical Stiffneck Collar – Long Description

The Cervical Stiffneck Collar is a rigid immobilisation device designed to provide effective cervical spine support in trauma, emergency, and pre-hospital care settings. Engineered for rapid application and dependable stabilisation, this collar helps minimise cervical spine movement in patients with suspected neck or spinal injuries.

Manufactured from high-quality HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), the collar offers excellent strength, durability, and structural integrity while remaining lightweight and comfortable for the patient. Its anatomically contoured design ensures proper alignment and consistent support, reducing the risk of further injury during patient handling and transport.

The integrated flip chin piece allows for quick and secure positioning under the patient’s chin, ensuring correct alignment and ease of application. Adjustable loop contact closures provide a firm, customised fit while allowing for fast application and removal when necessary. The collar is available in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes to accommodate a wide range of patient anatomies and ensure optimal immobilisation.

An anterior opening is strategically positioned to allow healthcare professionals to monitor and inspect the trachea and external jugular veins without removing the collar. This feature supports airway management, tracheostomy access (if required), and continuous patient assessment during treatment and transport.

Designed with radiotranslucent materials, the Cervical Stiffneck Collar is fully compatible with X-ray, CT, and MRI imaging. It can remain in place during diagnostic procedures, reducing unnecessary movement and maintaining spinal precautions throughout the patient’s care pathway.

Ideal for use by paramedics, emergency responders, hospitals, and trauma units, the Cervical Stiffneck Collar delivers reliable immobilisation, patient safety, and clinical efficiency in high-pressure environments.
