[0002] A cervical collar is an auxiliary treatment device for cervical spondylosis. It can immobilize and protect the cervical spine, reduce nerve wear, alleviate traumatic reactions of the intervertebral joints, and help reduce tissue edema, consolidate therapeutic effects, and prevent recurrence. Cervical collars can be used for all types of cervical spondylosis, and are especially suitable for patients in the acute phase, particularly those with cervical disc herniation, sympathetic nerve type, and vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.
[0003] Currently, most neck braces used in clinical practice are made of plastic or foam, which are relatively hard and uncomfortable for patients, easily causing discomfort in the head and neck and skin damage. At the same time, existing neck braces have poor breathability, especially in summer, when patients' neck sweat cannot evaporate easily, making it damp and unbearable, and in severe cases, it can easily cause dermatitis. Once the neck brace is soaked with sweat, it is difficult to clean it. Due to these shortcomings, patients often put a towel inside the neck brace when wearing it. However, the thickness and size of the towel are not uniform, which affects both the fixation effect and the appearance. Utility Model Content

[0029] The neck brace provided in this embodiment includes a front neck brace 1 and a rear neck brace 2. Elastic connecting straps 11 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the front of the front neck brace 1. A support plate 3 extends from the upper end of the front neck brace 1 into the accommodating space 21. The support plate 3 is integrally formed with the front neck brace 1. The support plate 3 includes a support part 31 located in the middle and extended connecting parts 32 located on opposite sides of the support part 31. A support pad 4 is detachably installed on the support part 31. The support pad 4 is provided with a breathable structure 41. When in use, the support pad 4 can support the user's chin. The support pad 4 has a breathable effect, which improves the user's comfort and avoids direct contact between the patient's chin and the front neck brace 1, which may cause skin damage. At the same time, the support pad 4 is fixed on the support part 31 when in use. When the user finishes using it or when it needs to be replaced, the support pad 4 can be removed. The operation is simple and increases the convenience of use.
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the bottom connector includes an annular adhesive portion 34 disposed on the support plate 3. The annular adhesive portion 34 is arranged sequentially along the circumference of the support portion 31. An annular adhesive strip 42 is disposed at the bottom of the support pad 4. The annular adhesive strip 42 can be bonded and fixed to the annular adhesive portion 34. The annular adhesive strip 42 is correspondingly disposed to the annular adhesive portion 34. During use, the annular adhesive strip 42 and the annular adhesive portion 34 can be bonded and fixed together. For example, the annular adhesive portion 34 can be a hook-and-loop fastener disposed on the support portion 31, and the annular adhesive strip 42 can be a hook-and-loop fastener disposed on the support portion 31.
[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, it also includes an elastic airbag 35, which is disposed on the support portion 31. The bottom of the elastic airbag 35 is provided with a connecting strip, and the bottom of the support pad 4 is provided with a strip-shaped connecting portion 43 corresponding to the connecting strip. The elastic airbag 35 includes multiple strip-shaped airbags, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the width direction of the support portion 31 and are connected to each other. Each strip-shaped airbag is connected to the other. An inflation / deflation interface is provided on the support plate 3 or the front neck brace 1. The inflation / deflation interface is connected to each strip-shaped airbag, and each strip-shaped airbag can be inflated or deflated through the inflation / deflation interface. This allows the height of the support pad 4 to be adjusted so that the support pad 4 can support the patient's lower jaw.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, strip-shaped air gaps 36 are formed between the strip-shaped airbags, and the strip-shaped air gaps 36 are connected to the breathable structure 41 on the support pad 4. Multiple opening segments 341 are provided on the annular adhesive portion 34, and the opening segments 341 correspond to the strip-shaped air gaps 36. The opening segments 341 are connected to the strip-shaped air gaps 36, so that when the strip-shaped airbags are inflated, they achieve two effects: first, they adjust the height of the support pad 4, allowing it to contact the patient's chin and provide good support; second, the strip-shaped air gaps 36 formed between the strip-shaped airbags, along with the opening segments 341 and the breathable structure 41, enhance the breathability.
