Philadelphia Cervical Collar for Head Fixation, Ossur PHP-T4-S
Description:
The Ossur Philadelphia Cervical Collar (PHP-T4-S) provides superior stabilization and support for the cervical spine, maintaining its physiological position. This collar offers significant advantages for patients requiring cervical immobilization:
Key Benefits:
- Superior Stabilization: The original Philadelphia collar design, providing exceptional restriction of cervical spine movement. Independent research (The Journal of Trauma 2007, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.) demonstrates significant limitations in movement: 74% flexion, 59.7% extension, 46.7% lateral bending, and 69.2% rotation.
- Anatomical Design & Sizing: A wide range of sizes and four height options ensure a precise and comfortable fit, maximizing immobilization while minimizing discomfort.
- Hypoallergenic & Moisture-Wicking: Constructed from latex-free Plastazote, this collar is hypoallergenic, comfortable against the skin, and resistant to moisture. It allows for hydrotherapy without removal.
- Enhanced Breathing & Chin Support: A contoured chin rest with a soft padding facilitates comfortable breathing and secure lower jaw fixation.
- Modular Design: Accepts optional chest and head modules (sold separately) for added stabilization of the upper thoracic and upper cervical spine.
Indications:
- Post-traumatic cervical spine immobilization
- Pre- and post-operative rehabilitation
- Cervical disc herniation and protrusion
- Rheumatoid arthritis and cervical osteoarthritis
- Cervical instability with neurological symptoms
- Osteochondropathies, cervical anomalies, and vertebral body structural changes
- Degenerative-dystrophic changes
- Vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) syndrome
- Motor neuron disease
Action:
This collar provides:
- Cervical spine stabilization and physiological positioning.
