How Does a Neck Collar Help?

If a patient is suffering from neck pain for any reason, a neck brace is a great way to relieve that pain and prevent further. The neck brace acts as a precautionary measure to protect the neck from further damage until it can be properly examined by a healthcare professional.

Can I Wear the Neck Brace During Examinations?

Made from x-ray translucent materials, the Thuasne Ortel Neck brace can be worn during MRI, CT or x-ray scans. This allows the patient to stay fully supported during a thorough assessment, where the best solution to the problem can be found.

How Comfortable is the Thuasne Ortel T-Neck Collar?

1. While laying down, position the anterior back pad behind the neck with the centre directly between the ears
2.  Position the front part around the front of the neck
3. Close the straps on each side using the Velcro straps
