Nowadays, a healthy lifestyle and taking care of one’s health are playing an increasingly important role, so products from the category “trauma products”, such as an orthopedic collar, are very popular. This product can be found in any medical supplies department or pharmacy. What is an orthopedic collar and how does it work?
The orthopedic collar includes: soft filler, the orthopedic frame itself, clamps and soft lining. The shape of the orthopedic collar allows you to hold your head in position and promotes the correct formation of the cervical vertebrae. This design is ideal for people who have suffered serious injuries or are recovering from surgery.
But it is important to know that the choice of the type of orthopedic product must be made together with a specialist. The orthopedic design is of a purely individual nature and it is not a fact that one collar will suit all people to the same extent.
Products differ in their design; they can be soft or hard. Soft orthoses can be classified as cervical braces; hard ones are more relevant for restorative therapy of the brain from the consequences of various injuries and contusions. In addition, the degree of intensity of impact, which directly depends on the rigidity of the structure, should be taken into account. For maximum fixation, hard collars or special pillows are used; specialized rollers with a soft texture are also provided.
