Description

A cervical belt (or collar) is a medical support device designed to provide gentle to moderate support and immobilization to the neck (cervical spine). It helps to restrict movement, reduce strain on the cervical muscles and ligaments, and maintain proper alignment of the neck. These collars are typically made from soft, breathable foam or fabric, making them comfortable for extended wear. They are often used as a conservative treatment for various neck conditions.

Product Name: Cervical Belt / Cervical Collar
MRP (Maximum Retail Price): ₹ 1500

Key Features:

• Anatomical Design: Shaped to conform to the natural curve of the neck and chin, providing optimal support and comfort.
• Soft, Breathable Material: Typically made from high-density foam covered with a skin-friendly, breathable fabric (like cotton stockinet or synthetic blends) to prevent irritation and allow air circulation, especially important for prolonged wear.
• Adjustable Closure: Equipped with a hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure system at the back or side, allowing for easy application, removal, and precise adjustment to fit various neck circumferences and provide desired compression.
• Contoured Chin Support: Many designs feature a contoured chin area to provide extra support and help maintain the head in a neutral position.
• Lightweight and Non-Restrictive: Designed to be lightweight enough for comfort while still offering necessary support without completely immobilizing the neck (unlike rigid collars).
• Washable Cover: Often comes with a removable and washable cover for hygiene.
• Variety of Heights: Available in different heights to accommodate varying neck lengths and conditions.

Available Sizes: Cervical belts are usually available in multiple sizes based on neck circumference and sometimes neck height. Common sizing includes:

• Small (S): Typically fits neck circumference of 10-12 inches (25-30 cm)
• Medium (M): Typically fits neck circumference of 12-14 inches (30-35 cm)
• Large (L): Typically fits neck circumference of 14-16 inches (35-40 cm)

Benefits:

• Pain Relief: Reduces pain by limiting painful neck movements, supporting the head’s weight, and relaxing strained muscles and ligaments in the cervical spine.
• Muscle Relaxation: Helps to relax overused or spastic neck muscles by providing support and reducing the need for constant muscular effort to hold the head up.
• Minor Immobilization: Provides gentle restriction of neck movement, which can prevent further injury or aggravation of existing conditions.
• Supports Recovery: Often used during the recovery phase from neck injuries like whiplash, sprains, or strains, allowing injured tissues to rest and heal.

Common Uses:

• Neck sprains and strains (e.g., whiplash)
• Cervical spondylosis (age-related wear and tear of the neck bones)
• Torticollis (wry neck)
• Muscle stiffness and soreness
• Post-operative recovery (minor cases, or as transition from rigid collar)
