Philadelphia Collar Cervical Support Brace – Ossur PHP-T4-S

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.
• Traction-based unloading of cervical muscles and ligaments, increasing intervertebral space.
• Improved blood circulation, reduced inflammation, and accelerated healing.
• Pain relief or elimination.

This high-quality cervical collar from Ossur offers a comprehensive solution for a wide range of cervical spine conditions, providing effective immobilization and promoting healing and recovery.
