Frequently Asked Questions

What does the tracheal opening allow?
The tracheal opening is a cutout in the front of the collar that provides access to the trachea for tracheostomy care and airway management without requiring the collar to be removed. This is particularly useful in acute care and ICU settings where maintaining cervical positioning while accessing the airway is a clinical priority.

Is this collar X-ray compatible?
Yes. The Philadelphia Cervical Collar is X-ray translucent, meaning it does not significantly obstruct X-ray imaging. This allows standard cervical X-rays to be taken without removing the collar in most clinical scenarios. Confirm imaging protocols with your radiology department for specific imaging needs.

Can this collar be used with a cervical cast?
Yes. The Philadelphia Cervical Collar can be incorporated into cervical casts as part of a combined immobilization system. Consult your clinical team for specific casting protocols and compatibility requirements.

How is this collar applied and removed?
The two-piece design separates into front and back sections. The contact closure fastener on each section allows the collar to be applied and removed without requiring the patient to move their head significantly. Follow your clinical protocol for proper application technique.
