The Med-E Move Philadelphia Collar is designed to provide firm support and stability to the cervical spine. It is intended for use in situations requiring neck immobilization, such as after an injury or surgery, to aid in the healing process. The two-piece construction allows for ease of application, while the anatomical design with a chin rest ensures the neck is properly supported. Made from a non-toxic foam material, it is crafted to be lightweight and waterproof. The inclusion of a trachea opening allows for access if needed during medical procedures.
Anatomical Two-Piece Design: The collar consists of front and back pieces that are anatomically shaped to stabilize and immobilize the cervical spine.
Chin Support: A pre-moulded chin support helps to ensure proper placement and provides firm support for the head.
Trachea Opening: Features a frontal opening for tracheotomy access, which can be necessary during certain medical treatments or surgery.
Adjustable Fastening: Equipped with hook and loop closures that allow for proper and secure fitting.
Water-Resistant Material: Constructed from non-toxic and waterproof foam, which allows for use during showering and is easy to clean.

A: This collar is designed to immobilize the neck and stabilize the cervical spine, restricting movement to aid in the healing process after an injury or surgery.
