Medi protect.Collar soft 9 cm in Vancouver

Medi gave this soft collar an anatomical shape that matches the neck's contour. A soft foam core sits inside a skin-friendly cotton cover for daily comfort. A small chin notch helps prevent pressure under the jaw while you wear it. Velcro at the back lets you close the collar quickly and adjust the fit. The collar supports the cervical spine, limits movement, and keeps the neck muscles warm. Its support is light, and a rigid collar remains the choice after serious trauma.

When a Soft Cervical Collar Can Help

Medi lists several neck conditions where this soft collar may give short-term relief. These include cervical syndrome, muscle strain, and torticollis, also called a stiff, twisted neck. The list also covers whiplash, hypermobility, rheumatic neck pain, and degenerative changes in the spine. Some clinicians use soft collars for a short period after cervical disc surgery. Your doctor or physiotherapist should confirm that a soft collar suits your condition. Use the collar only on unbroken skin, as the medi instructions state.

Choosing the Right Collar Height

The protect.Collar soft comes in three heights: 7, 9, and 11 cm. Height means how tall the collar stands from its lower edge upward. The 9 cm height suits many adults with an average neck length. A collar that is too tall pushes the chin up and strains the neck. A collar that is too short gives little support and may slip down. Measure from your collarbone to just under your chin, and compare with our team.

Medi Cervical Collar Size Chart

Medi sizes this collar by neck circumference, measured around the middle of the neck. Size 1 fits 29 to 35 cm, and size 2 fits 36 to 42 cm. Size 3 fits 43 to 49 cm, and size 4 fits 50 to 58 cm. Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the neck, snug but not tight. On a size boundary, pick the smaller size and let us check the fit.

How to Put On the Soft Collar

Open the Velcro, then wrap the collar around your neck with the chin notch forward. Rest your chin gently in the notch, and keep your head in a neutral position. Bring both ends to the back of your neck, and close the Velcro evenly. A single finger should slide in comfortably under the collar's edge. The collar should feel snug, with no pinching, numbness, or trouble swallowing. Remove it and call your clinician if you feel undue pain or discomfort.

How Long to Wear a Soft Cervical Collar

Soft collars are generally meant for short-term use, not for weeks at a time. Healthline suggests about a week at most for moderate neck pain without a sudden injury. Wearing a collar too long can weaken and stiffen the neck muscles. Follow your doctor's plan when the collar follows an injury or neck surgery. Gentle movement, good posture, and prescribed exercises usually matter more than the collar. Take it off for skin checks, washing, and any exercises your clinician sets.

Sleeping and Daily Life With a Neck Collar

Many people wear the collar during the day and remove it at night. Check with your clinician about wearing it overnight, especially after an injury. A supportive mattress and a thin pillow help keep the neck neutral in bed. Avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and sudden head turns while your neck heals. Get your doctor's approval before driving while you wear a collar.

Caring for Your medi Collar

Close the Velcro before washing to protect the fabric and the fastener. Hand-wash the collar, ideally with medi clean detergent or a mild soap. Rinse well, since soap or cream residue can irritate skin and wear the material. Do not bleach or iron the collar, and let it air-dry away from direct heat. The medi instructions describe the collar as a single-patient product. Inspect the foam and Velcro often, and replace the collar once it loses its shape.

Soft Collar Safety Tips

A soft collar cannot protect a neck after a serious fall or car crash. Phone 9-1-1 for any suspected spinal injury, and keep the person still. Seek urgent care for numbness, weakness, or tingling in the arms or legs. See a doctor quickly for severe neck pain with fever, headache, or confusion. Stop wearing the collar if the skin beneath it becomes red, sore, or blistered. Read these notes as general information, and follow the plan your clinician sets.
