When there is a spinal injury in the cervical spine, it is necessary to stiffen it properly. Properly adjusted to the type of injury, the orthopedic collar immobilizes and stabilizes the cervical spine, protecting against further injuries of the cervical spine and spinal cord. As a rule, it is used after accidents and during various therapies.
Orthopedic collars are divided into 3 types:
-Schantz, a soft collar that is designed for longer use
-Florida, a little stiffer than Schantzy
-Campa (also called Philadelphia), this is the collar with the largest stiffening and usually consists of two parts
Cervical orthoses are usually made of polyurethane foam and have Velcro fastening.
