Installazione e montaggio
Proper fitting of the cervical collar is crucial for effective support and comfort.
- Select the Correct Height: Choose the collar height (2-inch, 3-inch, or 4-inch) that best suits your neck length and the level of support required, as advised by a healthcare professional. The 2-inch height is generally suitable for individuals of below-average height.
- Posizionare il collare: Place the collar around your neck with the chin cutaway positioned comfortably under your chin. Ensure the collar is centered and provides even support.
- Fissare la cinghia: Bring the ends of the collar together at the back of your neck. Secure the hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap firmly but comfortably. The collar should be snug enough to provide support without causing pressure or restricting breathing.
- Regola per il comfort: Ensure you can breathe easily and that the collar does not cause any pinching or excessive pressure points. The strap can be trimmed to length if it is too long.

Risoluzione dei problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Collar feels too tight or restricts breathing. | Collar is overtightened or incorrect size. | Loosen the strap slightly. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct height and size for your neck circumference. |
| Collar provides insufficient support. | Collar is too loose or incorrect height. Foam may have compressed over time. | Tighten the strap for a snug fit. Consider if a taller collar (3-inch or 4-inch) would be more appropriate. If the foam is significantly compressed, replacement may be necessary. |
| Skin irritation or redness. | Collar is too tight, material sensitivity, or lack of proper hygiene. | Ensure proper fit. Clean the collar regularly as per maintenance instructions. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. |
