How to Adjust the Aspen Vista Cervical Collar
The Aspen Vista Cervical Collar is designed for quick, precise height adjustments using the patented Dial Height Adjustment system to ensure optimal cervical support. This mechanism lets the caregiver safely select one of six height settings, effectively acting as six collars in one.
Step-by-step adjustment guidance:
-
Locate the Dial: Find the yellow Height Adjustment Dial on the front of the collar.
-
Pull and Turn: Pull the dial out and turn it to select your desired height setting. The collar should align comfortably under the patient's chin and at the occiput (back of the head).
-
Confirm Alignment: Ensure the fit provides necessary stabilization by confirming the patient's head is in a neutral, supported position, and the collar does not restrict breathing.
-
Secure and Check: Confirm immobilization by gently testing lateral and sagittal motion; the collar should effectively limit movement while remaining comfortable.
