Ossur Philadelphia Cervical Collar (PHP-T4-XL) – Superior Neck Support & Immobilization

Description:

The Ossur Philadelphia Cervical Collar (PHP-T4-XL) offers superior stabilization and support for the cervical spine, maintaining its physiological position. This collar provides traction relief to the neck’s musculature and ligaments, increasing intervertebral space. It promotes improved blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the healing process, significantly alleviating or eliminating pain.
