Embodiment Construction

[0040] A. Environment and background

[0041] Embodiments of the orthotic device provide for stabilizing and supporting the wearer's anatomy, such as the wearer's neck and head.

[0042] While embodiments of the present disclosure are suitable for supporting or stabilizing a wide variety of wearer's anatomy having a variety of anatomical shapes and sizes, embodiments of the present disclosure can also be made to accommodate different types, shapes and sizes of anatomy.

[0043] For ease of understanding of the disclosed embodiments of the orthotic device, the anterior or anterior portion and the rear or posterior portion of the orthotic device will be described separately. It will be appreciated that the front and back portions of the orthotic together form a support and stabilization collar around the wearer's anatomy.

[0044] The term "rear" also has its generic meaning and refers to a position behind or behind another position. Finally, the term "in front" has its generi...

Abstract

A cervical collar has a front component formed from a compressible foam material and defines a recess constituting part of a tracheal opening. The collar also has a height adjustment mechanism secured to the front component which forms a substantially rigid border about the tracheal opening, and a sternum pad formed from a compressible foam material. The height adjustment mechanism selectively connects the front component to the sternum pad at a permanently locked position among a plurality of predefined distances.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of orthopedic or prosthetic devices, and more particularly to a cervical collar configured to be adjustable in height and circumferential width to accommodate different wearer sizes, improve patient comfort, and for different to adjust or place a cervical collar for medical conditions.
