Rigid Adjustable Collar 1026, Size 3, is a medical device
designed to provide firm support and limit movement of the neck (cervical
spine). It is constructed in two pieces that connect, allowing for vertical
height adjustment to achieve a customized and secure fit for the individual's
anatomy.
Rigid Adjustable Collar 1026, Size 3 is typically made from
a lightweight yet sturdy material, such as polyethylene, often with padding for
increased comfort against the skin. Ventilation holes may be present to improve
airflow and reduce moisture build-up. The collar fastens securely at the back
using hook and loop closures, ensuring it stays in place.
Rigid Adjustable Collar 1026, Size 3’s rigid nature helps to
immobilize the neck, which is crucial for healing after certain injuries or
surgeries. Furthermore, these collars are often radiolucent, meaning they do
not interfere with X-rays or other radiological imaging.

Usage Instructions:
- Ensure
you have the correct size as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
Size 3 often corresponds to a specific neck circumference; refer to the
manufacturer's sizing chart for precise measurements (typically around
34-40 cm according to one source).
- Position
the back piece of the collar behind your neck, ensuring it is centered and
the arrow (if present) points upwards.
- Apply
the front piece of the collar, ensuring your chin rests comfortably in the
designated recess. The front piece should overlap the back piece.
- Secure
the hook and loop fasteners on both sides of the collar.
- Adjust
the height of the collar by separating the two sections and repositioning
them until the collar fits snugly between your collarbone and chin,
providing support without restricting breathing or swallowing.
- Tighten
the straps to ensure the collar is firm enough to limit significant neck
movement (you should not be able to nod or shake your head freely).
- Follow
the specific instructions provided by your healthcare professional
regarding when and how long to wear the collar.
- Keep
your skin clean and dry. The pads inside the collar (if present and
removable) should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions,
usually with mild soap and water and air-dried.
- Avoid
adjusting the height of the collar unless instructed by your healthcare
provider.
