Brief Description and Purpose

The Philadelphia collar is designed to restrict movement and reduce stress on the cervical spine, promoting stabilization and a comfortable head and neck position during recovery. The collar's name comes from the city where this type of orthosis was developed. The design is anatomically contoured to the neck to provide effective fixation without excessive pressure and to facilitate the healing process.
