Cervical support

Our Necklite™ and Ambu® Perfit® ACE™ cervical supports reliably support the transport and movement of patients by keeping the patient's head in a neutral position and relieving pressure on the neck muscles.

Necklite™ immobilisation collar - Grey

Basic colour: Grey

Necklite™ The Necklite™ is a cervical spine support collar (now also commonly referred to as a Stifneck in Germany) for prophylactic treatment of suspected cervical spine injuries. The Necklite™ splint is made from a flexible aluminium-foam composite and provides secure support and relief in the cervical spine area. The 55 cm long and 18 cm high splint can be folded or rolled up to save space and can therefore be stowed anywhere. This makes it ideal for compact emergency equipment for emergency services. Stifneck that is easy to put on for emergency conditions Necklite™ is designed for operational conditions. The grey colour does not stand out against clothing. The aluminium core covered with PU foam offers high stability and flexibility at the same time. The movable chin rest adapts perfectly to the shape of the patient's chin. This makes application easier. The Necklite™ can be fixed quickly and individually thanks to a Velcro fastener. Trachea and drainage openings as well as the radiolucent material allow immediate further treatment of the patient in rescue centres or hospitals. Necklite™ instructions The back of the support collar is pushed under the patient's neck until it can be grasped on the other side. The back is labelled as such and has a horizontal elliptical opening. The front is placed over the lower jaw. The oval opening marks the centre, which should be directly under the chin. The collar is then secured by placing the Velcro tape firmly around the patient's neck. The necessary freedom of breathing must be ensured. Finally, the small wings are pressed against the chin to ensure that you stabilise the position of the head. Finally, shape the cervical collar to immobilise the patient's throat and neck and readjust the Velcro fastener if necessary. Weight: 105g Dimensions: 55 cm x 18 cm x 0.5 cm

What is a cervical support?

A cervical support, also known as a cervical collar, neck collar, stiff neck or immobilisation collar, is a plastic sleeve for immobilising and relieving the cervical spine (cervical spine). This medical device plays a crucial role in stabilising the neck area after injuries.

When is a cervical support used?

The cervical support is used when people have suffered a whiplash injury, complain of pain in the cervical spine or are suspected of having a slipped disc.

By using a cervical support, the cervical spine is relieved and the patient's ability to move in the head, neck and back area is restricted. This helps to prevent further damage and long-term consequences to the spine.

What types of cervical supports are there?

Cervical supports are available in a wide variety of versions and depend on the age and size of the person being treated, the duration of wear and the severity of the injury. There are soft, semi-rigid and rigid versions:

The soft cervical support, often also called a foam ruff, is used less for immobilisation than for support. It is often used for injuries that can be cured by wearing a cervical support for several days.
The semi-rigid cervical support provides partial relief for the head and restricts the range of movement more.
The rigid cervical support ensures the best possible immobilisation of the cervical spine and is often used during initial treatment at the accident site or during transport to hospital.

Models from Necklite™ and Ambu® are particularly practical as they can be reduced to a small pack size by folding and rolling, are adjustable using Velcro and remain radiolucent. The Ambu® Perfit® ACE™ Military is an example of a highly developed cervical support that is favoured in emergency situations.

How long should cervical supports be worn?

Depending on the severity of the injury, the wearing time of a cervical support should be kept as short as possible to prevent the muscles from regressing. Wearing the brace for longer than absolutely necessary can delay the healing process and should be determined under medical supervision.
