Aspen Vista Cervical Collar, 2-Piece Rigid Neck Brace for Restricting Cervical Motion, 984000

Product Information

Comfort is further enhanced by hypoallergenic, cotton-lined replacement pads that cushion the interface between the “structure” of the collar and the tender skin surface of patients. No – as described above, your hard collar is designed to prevent the movements of your head and neck, which are required for safe driving and you will not be covered by the DVLA or your insurance company.

The structural elements of the collar have been designed to spread support across broad contact surfaces thereby minimizing hot-spots that can cause decubitus ulcers. You should avoid standing still or sitting for prolonged periods as this will cause your back to stiffen and your posture to deteriorate. The collar will have supported you up until this point and slumping will cause additional strain on your muscles.Avoid sitting in soft low chairs as this will cause your back posture to become rounded and put added pressure on your neck. Aspen Pediatric Collars minimize the potential for skin breakdown, while maintaining a therapeutic level of motion restriction. Replace the back section of the collar by sliding it under the neck until there is an equal amount of the collar visible either side. Initially after your hospital admission your neck may be sore as you move; this may increase over the first couple of days but will then improve.

Your doctor will let you know if your child needs to keep their collar on all the time or if it can be removed for short periods. Aspen® Cervical Collars Pads wick moisture while shell distributes and transfers head weight to shoulders and upper thorax. The physiological range of motion in the three planes was analysed using the Qualisys Track Manager System.Eight ProReflex (Qualisys, Sweden) infrared cameras were used to track the movement of retro-reflective marker clusters placed in predetermined positions on the head and trunk. The right size is always at hand, reducing storage and inventory costs while improving patient care.

The 6-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) tracking function provided 6DOF data from any user-defined rigid body providing information on the rotational and translational movements of a moving body. The sides of front section of the collar should be directed up to fit snugly over the shoulders and wrap around to the back of the neck. Wearing the collar will likely cause weakness to the muscles supporting your head, as the collar has been doing this work, when you no longer require the collar, we would advise this is gradually removed. You will be provided with a spare cervical collar, unless you have been told otherwise by your consultant you should wear the cervical collar in the shower and change this to a dry one, once you have finished showering.

Others do not offer the original Aspen warranty, nor do they offer any after-sales service of any kind.
