At Hope Rehabilitation Center, we offer a wide range of neck orthotics and collars designed to provide optimal support, stabilization, and pain relief for individuals suffering from neck injuries, conditions, or post-surgical recovery. Our expert team ensures that each neck brace or collar is properly fitted to meet the unique needs of our patients, helping them regain comfort and mobility.
Types of Neck Orthotics and Collars
Cervical Collar (Soft Collar)
- Uses: The soft cervical collar is commonly used for mild neck pain, strain, or sprain. It is ideal for patients recovering from non-severe neck injuries, such as whiplash, or following minor procedures or treatments.
- Features:
- Made from soft, comfortable foam material.
- Provides mild to moderate support and immobilization.
- Lightweight and breathable.
- Adjustable to ensure a secure and personalized fit.
- Ideal for short-term use and light support.
Philadelphia Collar
- Uses: The Philadelphia collar is used for patients with more serious neck conditions or injuries, such as fractures, spinal instability, or post-surgical recovery. It provides more rigid support than a soft collar.
- Features:
- Rigid, two-piece construction for maximum stability and immobilization.
- Made from medical-grade plastic and foam for enhanced durability and comfort.
- High-adjustability for a snug, custom fit.
- Provides significant neck support while limiting motion, which is ideal for post-operative care or healing after a serious injury.
- Can be used for long-term support, as it provides effective immobilization and comfort.
Cervical Thoracic Orthosis (CTO)
- Uses: The Cervical Thoracic Orthosis (CTO) is used for more complex neck conditions, such as cervical spine fractures, severe whiplash, or recovery following spinal surgery. It extends to support the thoracic region of the spine, offering comprehensive support to the cervical and upper thoracic spine.
- Features:
- Provides full immobilization of the cervical spine and upper thoracic region.
- Typically made from lightweight, rigid plastic material for durability.
- Offers adjustable straps to ensure a comfortable, secure fit.
- Provides both anterior and posterior support, limiting movement and promoting recovery.
- Ideal for post-operative use or when high-level neck immobilization is required.
Miami J Collar
- Uses: The Miami J Collar is commonly used for patients recovering from cervical spine surgeries, those with severe whiplash, or post-trauma conditions. It offers a high level of support while allowing for moderate mobility.
- Features:
- Rigid plastic material combined with soft foam padding for optimal comfort and support.
- Provides enhanced immobilization and minimizes neck movement during healing.
- Adjustable size to accommodate different neck shapes and sizes.
- Low-profile design, allowing for increased comfort and ease of movement.
- Designed for long-term use during the recovery process, particularly following surgery or significant injury.
Halo Collar
- Uses: The Halo collar is used for patients who require the most comprehensive and rigid neck immobilization, typically for severe cervical spine fractures, spinal surgery recovery, or spinal instability.
- Features:
- Made of a rigid external ring (halo) that surrounds the head and neck, providing superior support.
- The collar is secured by screws or pins that attach to the skull, ensuring maximum immobilization of the neck and spine.
- Provides complete immobilization of the cervical spine, preventing movement that could exacerbate injury.
- Ideal for patients with high-risk cervical spine injuries, requiring strict immobilization for healing.
