Philadelphia Cervical Collar, Ossur PHP-T5-S: Superior Neck Support & Immobilization
Description:
The Ossur Philadelphia Cervical Collar (PHP-T5-S) provides superior stabilization and immobilization of the cervical spine, promoting healing and pain relief. This original Philadelphia-style collar offers:
- Effective Spinal Stabilization: Maintains the cervical spine in its physiological position, providing significant traction relief to the neck’s musculature and ligaments, and increasing intervertebral space. This improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates recovery.
- Superior Pain Relief: Effectively alleviates or eliminates pain associated with various cervical spine conditions.
- Exceptional Immobilization: Clinical studies (The Journal of Trauma 2007, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.) demonstrate significant restriction of movement:
- Flexion: 74% reduction
- Extension: 59.7% reduction
- Lateral bending: 46.7% reduction
- Rotation: 69.2% reduction
- Anatomical Design & Sizing: A wide range of sizes, including 4 height options, ensures a precise and comfortable fit, maximizing cervical spine immobilization.
- Hypoallergenic & Durable: Constructed from latex-free Plastazote, this collar is hypoallergenic, skin-friendly, water-resistant, and allows for hydrotherapy without removal. A contoured chin support with a cushioning pad facilitates comfortable breathing and jaw stabilization.
- Modular Design: Accommodates optional modules for enhanced support:
- Thoracic Module: Provides additional stabilization of the upper thoracic spine.
- Head Module: Further restricts head movement and stabilizes the upper cervical spine.
Indications:
- Cervical spine immobilization post-trauma
