Philadelphia Cervical Collar

The Philadelphia Cervical Collar is a two-piece rigid cervical immobilization device used to restrict movement of the cervical spine following trauma, suspected neck injury, or spinal instability in pre-hospital, emergency department, and post-surgical care settings. The two-piece design allows application without requiring the patient to sit upright or move their head during fitting, which matters significantly at vehicle accident scenes and trauma sites where patient positioning cannot be controlled prior to collar application.

The anterior and posterior shell components use rigid polyethylene construction with contoured inner foam padding covered in moisture-resistant fabric on the patient contact surfaces. The anterior shell incorporates a chin support cup that maintains the mandible position and prevents forward head flexion, while the posterior shell provides occipital support and restricts extension and lateral rotation of the cervical spine.

Size options cover pediatric through extra-large adult neck dimensions, with sizing determined by the distance between the top of the shoulder and the bottom of the chin measured in the neutral head position. Anterior and posterior shell pairs connect through hook-and-loop closure straps on both lateral sides, allowing tension adjustment to match individual neck circumference and maintain firm contact without excessive pressure on the tracheal or vascular structures of the anterior neck.

Radiolucent material construction allows X-ray and CT imaging through the collar without removal, enabling radiological assessment of cervical spine injury while maintaining immobilization. Moreover, the collar withstands standard hospital cleaning and disinfection protocols using quaternary ammonium and chlorine-based solutions between patient uses.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies Philadelphia Cervical Collars to hospital emergency departments, ambulance services, military field medical units, and trauma response teams requiring dependable cervical spine immobilization capability across medical and field environments in Pakistan.
