Injuries to your cervical spine can cause pain and discomfort that won't go away unless you stabilise and rest the area. The Thuasne Ortel C3 Rigid Cervical Collar provides your neck with firm support to help relieve instability and therefore reduce pain. Unlike other supports, the Ortel C3 Collar is anatomically designed and has a soft padded edge for areas in contact with your skin to provide you with the utmost comfort.
Who Can Make Gains with the Rigid Cervical Collar?
If you play a contact sport like American football or rugby, you're more likely to suffer from falls that cause head or neck injuries.
