Abstract

The four-post cervical collar constructed from polyform is an effective means of supporting the neck for a patient with complex special requirements negating the use of a commercial cervical collar. This collar can easily be adjusted and put on independently and removed by the patient by leaving one side of the collar attached. The cervical collar can be molded and adjusted to the individual. It is light weight, comfortable, and easily cleaned.
