Soft Cervical Collar: When and How to Use It Safely

A soft cervical collar is a lightweight foam support worn around the neck to limit excessive movement and provide comfort.

Typical Uses

• Short-term comfort during neck strain, as advised by a clinician
• Support during long car or air travel
• Gentle reminder to avoid awkward neck positions

How to Wear It

• Choose the correct size according to the chart
• Fit it so your chin rests comfortably on the front support
• Secure the hook-and-loop closure at the back snugly but not tightly
• Keep the skin clean and dry beneath the collar

Important Reminders

Prolonged use can weaken neck muscles, so follow the wearing time suggested by your healthcare provider. Seek urgent medical help after any serious injury, or if you experience numbness, weakness, or severe pain.
