Proper sizing of the Collar is important for patient immobilization and comfort. Always maintain the patient's head in neutral alignment. These directions are guidelines only; follow a qualified health care provider's instructions.
Height:
- 1. Measure from the tip of the patient's chin to the top of the sternum in a straight line (Figure 1. "A").
- 2. The measurement corresponds to the HEIGHT of the Collar. If the patient's measurement falls between two consecutive sizes, apply the smaller size first.
Circumference:
- 3. Measure around the patient's neck.
- 4. The measurement corresponds to the size CIRCUMFERENCE of the Collar. If the patient's measurement falls between two consecutive sizes, apply the larger size first.
Alternative Sizing Method:
Use your fingers to measure the vertical distance from the top of the patient's shoulder to the tip of the chin.
Find the SIZING LINE on the Collar and position your lowest finger on the line. Select the size closest to the height of your fingers.
