Aspen Medical Cervical Collar

Who Uses This Product? Patients who require a neck brace to completely restrict motion after sustaining a neck injury or having surgery.

Why They Love It? The Cervical Collar by Aspen uses patented technology to impede neck movement while keeping the skin cool and comfortable. The patented FlexTabs restrict motion and regulates pressure to ensure the skin is healthy.

The Aspen Cervical Collar is an innovative neck brace that provides the controlled environment that's necessary for healing. This cervical collar restricts movement while being mindful of skin health and comfort. The Aspen C Collar includes the padding and liner, with an option to purchase the collar with an extra set of pads. Vitality Medical offers Aspen Collar replacement pads and parts to maintain the cervical collar throughout the healing process.

This cervical collar stands apart from others on the market because it's engineered with Aspen's patented Cushion Flex Tabs. It tightens to conform to each patient for a custom fit while dispersing pressure to prevent hot spots. Reducing pressure safeguards the skin from breakdown and pressure ulcers. The inner lining also protects the skin with open aircell foam and a cotton liner that allow the skin to breathe and provide airflow. These features are important factors in patient compliance, as the brace is worn all day during the healing stages.

The foam padding is removed to wash and reapply or to apply new padding.

Pad Removal Peel away the pads from the hook dots.

Cleaning Handwash with mild soap and water. Rinse away soap and squeeze out any excess water. Pat dry with a towel and allow the pads to air dry completely.
