Ossur Philadelphia Cervical Collar (PHP-T4-S) – Superior Neck Support and Immobilization
Product Description:
The Ossur Philadelphia Cervical Collar (PHP-T4-S) is the gold standard in cervical collars, offering superior support and immobilization for a wide range of neck conditions. Originally designed by Ossur, this collar provides significant pain relief and facilitates healing by:
- Stabilizing the cervical spine: Maintains the natural physiological position of the neck, reducing strain and pain.
- Traction and decompression: Reduces pressure on the muscles, ligaments, and intervertebral discs, promoting healing and increased intervertebral space.
- Improved blood circulation: Enhances blood flow, reducing inflammation and accelerating recovery.
- Pain relief: Significantly alleviates or eliminates neck pain.
Key Advantages:
- Anatomical design & sizing: Available in 4 heights for a precise and comfortable fit, maximizing restriction of cervical spine movement. Motion limitation, according to Ossur research (The Journal of Trauma 2007, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.), is: Flexion – 74%; Extension – 59.7%; Lateral bending – 46.7%; Rotation – 69.2%.
- Hypoallergenic Plastazote material: Latex-free, skin-friendly, and moisture-resistant. Allows for hydrotherapy without removal.
- Ergonomic chin support: Features a soft padding to ease breathing and secure the lower jaw.
- Modular design: Accepts optional thoracic and head modules for increased stabilization and immobilization of the upper thoracic and upper cervical spine.
