How Does a Neck Collar Help?
If a patient is suffering from neck pain for any reason, a neck brace is a great way to relieve that pain and prevent further. The neck brace acts as a precautionary measure to protect the neck from further damage until it can be properly examined by a healthcare professional.
Can I Wear the Neck Brace During Examinations?
Made from x-ray translucent materials, the Thuasne Ortel Neck brace can be worn during MRI, CT or x-ray scans. This allows the patient to stay fully supported during a thorough assessment, where the best solution to the problem can be found.
How Comfortable is the Thuasne Ortel T-Neck Collar?

How Do I Fit the Cervical Collar?
To fit the neck collar for optimal support, please follow these instructions:
- While laying down, position the anterior back pad behind the neck with the centre directly between the ears
- Position the front part around the front of the neck
- Close the straps on each side using the Velcro straps
- Adjust the height so that the chin sits inside the chin cup
