Prototype<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Fully assembled prototype from left anterior viewpoint (left) and left posterior viewpoint (right). Hybrid design consists of a rigid front portion with adjustable chin support and vacuum bead, soft posterior portion. The two are interfaced with velcro.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Generic cervical collar with specific requirements outlined on design <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Design Requirements<\/td>Justification<\/td><\/tr>
A. Must restrict 6 major neck motions<\/td>Excessive movement of the cervical
spine leads to secondary spinal cord injury.
Rotation is especially detrimental and can
cause permanent damage to several
body systems. <\/td><\/tr>
B. Must allow for natural airway and
circulatory function. <\/td>		Major blood and airway supply flows through
the cervical region. Any interference with
these functions can lead to unconsciousness
or brain death within a few minutes. <\/td><\/tr>
C. Must be applied in a clinically acceptable
time frame <\/td>		Spinal cord injuries can lead to permanent
damage within 6-10 minutes 1<\/sup>. As such, these
injuries should be treated and addressed
as efficiently as possible. <\/td><\/tr>
D. Must allow for additionally emergency
procedures to be performed<\/td>		Cervical collars remain on the patient during
additional emergency procedure including:
imaging, intubation, etc. Collars should be
compatible with these procedures as well to
ensure the best possible outcome for the
patient. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
