MIAMI J® COLLAR
The Miami J® Collar represents a breakthrough in the immobilization and
care of patients with stable injuries of the cervical spine. Clinical tests
in leading laboratories and trauma centers across the U.S. indicate that this
collar offers excellent patient comfort and compliance with c-spine immobilization
equal to extrication collars. This product is specifically designed to meet
the needs of the ambulatory patient who must wear a cervical collar for an
extended period of time.
Features:
Superior Immobilization
• Polyethylene shell provides rigid support and immobilization in flexion,
extension, lateral tilt, and rotation.
• Two-piece design allows symmetrical application in the patient’s
neutral spinal alignment.
• Broad area of occipital support cradles the patient’s head.
Patient Compliance
• Angulation of mandible and occipital portion of collar is adjustable
to match patient’s anatomy.
• Contact pressure is evenly distributed across the jaw, sternum, and
occiput, and entirely relieved from the clavicle.
• All contact areas are lined with comfortable foam padding.
Inhibits Skin Breakdown
• Technologically advanced Sorbatex padding is designed to quickly absorb
and wick moisture away from the skin for rapid evaporation, keeping it dry
and comfortable.
• The vented collar shell allows air to circulate to the skin.
• Breathable mandible and occipital pads are removable and washable.
