Full Description

The Breg Ascend Cervical Collar 172 is designed with enhanced premium, super-soft and antimicrobial fabrics, laminated to highly breathable foam that reduces irritation and discomfort sometimes caused by more economical materials. The antimicrobial hemp blend liners used are 20% more absorbing and 5X more durable than cotton. The Ultra-breathable foam padding helps reduce perspiration, while the Collar system has additional pads as standard for continuity of care. Mix and match front and back panels to accommodate unique anatomies.

The Ascend 172 collar is designed to support patients’ unique anatomy through innovative features like flexible material zones giving optimised pressure distribution and reduced pain points together with the leading-edge antibacterial liners work together, reducing the potential for problematic pressure areas.

The Ascend cervical collars achieve a similar level of comfort and support as the Pinnacle collars, but in a multi-sized option that makes them more cost-effective. Like the Pinnacle collar, the Ascend collars are made from highly breathable, anti-microbial materials and uniquely designed structural support that builds confidence during recovery. The Ascend cervical collar family is available in four adult sizes and five paediatric sizes to accommodate a wide range of patients and anatomical differences.

The clinical evidence for cervical collars is clear and historical products on the market have established the effectiveness of bracing the cervical spine. However, it was felt that the competitive landscape holds an opening for products which offer a better balance of patient comfort and compliance with functions and proper fit. All product lines comprise innovative premium breathable fabrics and easy-to-adjust features, giving patients the support, they need when they need it most and clinicians an easy-fitting experience.

What is a cervical collar and why is it used?

A cervical collar is a neck brace that limits the movement of your neck while providing support and some pain relief. Cervical collars are required for multiple reasons, the most common being for fracture management in the neck (broken bone) the collar is used for the management of the fracture, it can also be used for support pre/ post-surgery. The cervical collar will encourage correct spinal alignment and aim to prevent the development of potential further problems. The cervical collar works by reducing the ability to move your neck, giving a degree of reduced mobility of your head and neck. This works by reducing the movement of bone in the neck to promote and aid healing. The collar will only limit movement in the neck, it will not eliminate it, so it must fit correctly. The cervical collar will help your neck support the weight of your head while the bone, the soft tissues and muscles in your neck heal. Following cervical spine (neck) surgery or sustaining a fracture the collar will help keep your neck bones in line while you heal.
