INTENDED PURPOSE

To provide gross immobilization to the cervical spine.
• X-ray and CT lucent
The device must be fitted and adjusted by a healthcare professional.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

• Conditions requiring gross immobilization of the cervical spine. This
may include:
– C-Spine precaution for trauma patients
– Immobilization for pre and post c-spine surgery

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Patients with a compromised airway or known spinal deformities
such as ankylosing spondylitis.
• Patients with penetrating trauma injuries

WARNING AND CAUTIONS

Warning: If an unstable fracture is suspected or unknown, with or
without a sustained trauma, ensure additional spinal precautions are
implemented to immobilize the spine.
Warning: Use of a cervical collar may increase intracranial pressure (ICP)
through jugular venous compression.
Warning: Use of a cervical collar may increase complexity of airway
management.
Warning: Cervical spine immobilization, including use of a cervical collar,
has been associated with:
• Impaired respiratory effort and forced expiratory volume
• Pneumonia
• Aspiration
• Worsening of existing cervical spine injury
• Severe neurological deterioration in patients with ankylosing
spondylitis
• Triggering of non-compliance or agitation
