How Does the Therapeutic Neck Collar Work?
The Torticollis Collar for Infants is a great choice for treating torticollis (also known as "wryneck") in children and infants. It works by providing an ongoing stimulus to the lateral aspect of the skull, helping to correct and maintain correct head positioning over a longer period of time.
The neck support is best used when combined with muscle stretching. When combined, this offers optimal treatment and recovery for your child.
Who Can Use the Torticollis Collar?
The TOT Torticollis Colar can be worn by any child aged 4 months to 10 years who suffers from torticollis. Along with its cool and comfortable design, this makes it ideal for long and short-term use and especially useful for smaller children who would usually find neck collars uncomfortable.
Best used alongside muscle stretching, the neck collar is also perfect for children who are already receiving therapy or treatment for torticollis.
Please Note: Children should not be left unattended while wearing the torticollis collar. It should also be removed when children are asleep.
Is the Neck Collar Comfortable?
The torticollis collar features a range of comfortable features to make sure your infant doesn't feel any discomfort. With its cool and comfortable design, the neck collar keeps a low profile and is unobtrusive to children. The amount of support can also be set to whatever your child needs, ensuring maximum effectiveness and long-lasting comfort.
The collar can also be covered with a 2-inch stockinette or knee-high nylon for further comfort.
Is the Collar Easy to Apply?
The Torticollis Collar for Infants comes pre-assembled and ready to fit, making it very easy to apply and use. You'll find a detailed breakdown of how it works in the user instructions and a shorter explanation below.
- Place the collar around your infant's neck
- Position the clear tubes and connect the straps
- Check how it fits on your infant for any undue pressure points
- If clear tubing doesn't fit properly, you can cut it to size with scissors. Be careful not to take too much off as it cannot be reconnected if cut too short.
To ensure a correct fit, the wearer should be holding their head in midline, slightly away from the struts. There should also be room for at least one adult finger to fit between the clear PVC tubing and the neck. It's also important to check for redness where the struts touch the skin.
