Description
These collar neck supports provide:
- Firm, but gentle support
- Comfortable temperature and microclimate management
- Ease of use
- Easy hygiene maintenance (washable at 80 – 100 degrees C)
They are hypo-allergenic, even with prolonged, close skin contact.
These neck supports are particularly useful for people who:
- Have weakness or wasting of their neck muscles with a tendency for the head to fall into a forward-flexed position
- Need to keep their head in a neutral position for eye contact, swallowing, speaking, breathing, and engaging in other functional activities
- Have persistent asymmetrical head positioning (side flexion), leading to skin-care problems
- Need neck support in seating and bed positioning as part of a 24-hour postural care regime to maintain optimised postural symmetry
- Find other neck supports ineffective or difficult to tolerate for long periods
- Need an alternative support to their wheelchair head support for periods of time each day to help with rest and relaxation
