Ambulance collar

Ambulance Collar limits head movement and is ideal for cervical immobilization of accident victims during transportation. When a person who has suffered from a trauma or injury is transported from the accident scene to a hospital, a Trauma Cervical Immobilizer comes in handy to provide temporary cervical immobilization. This is important when there is a suspected spinal injury.

Importance of using a Trauma Collar : -

Injured patients may have an unstable injury of the cervical spine. - Further movement of the cervical spine could cause additional damage to the spinal cord, over and above that already caused by the initial trauma. - The application of a trauma collar prevents potentially harmful cervical spine movements. - Immobilization of the cervical spine is a relatively harmless measure and can, therefore, be applied to many patients with a relatively low risk of injury “as a precaution.”
