A Hertel bandage is a type of bandage that is used in surgery to support the head and neck during severe injuries or surgeries. It consists of several strips of fabric that are applied to the patient’s head and neck to fix them in a certain position. The Hertel bandage is used for the following injuries to the human neck: cracks and fractures of the cervical vertebrae, dislocated joints, spinal cord injuries and others. A hertel can also be used after neck or head surgery to maintain the patient's position during healing. It can be applied both over clothing and under its covers. The patient does not need to remove it himself, but must consult a doctor
