Cervical Extrication Collar

The Cervical Extrication Collar provides essential cervical spine immobilization during patient extrication, transport, and initial trauma assessment. Available in 12-step, 14-step, and 16-step height configurations, the collar accommodates patients of varying neck lengths while maintaining neutral alignment of the cervical vertebrae. Rigid anterior and posterior supports restrict flexion, extension, and lateral rotation to minimize secondary spinal injury. Large tracheal aperture ensures airway access, and radiolucent materials permit imaging without collar removal. Standard equipment for EMS, trauma centers, and emergency response teams.
