Gibaud Ortho

PHILADELPHIA TYPE CERVICAL COLLAR

Indications:
- post-traumatic immobilization of the cervical spine,
- post-operative immobilization of the cervical spine.

Contraindications:
prolonged use without medical advice.

How to use:
the first positioning must be carried out by a qualified specialist. The collar is made up of a front part with chin rest and sternal support and a rear part with occipital and dorsal support. Position the two parts simultaneously and symmetrically by fitting the two side closures. Any adaptation of the plastazote thermoform must be carried out by a qualified specialist using a hot air gun. Wait for the thermoformable to become bright - transparent (80° C), taking care that it does not soften too much. Carry out the correction by hand before repositioning the orthosis and after making sure that the temperature is acceptable.

Characteristics:
immobilization obtained thanks to the 4 support points (chin, sternal, occipital, dorsal).
