Product features
A neck brace is a medical device designed to support and stabilize the neck and cervical spine. It is commonly used for conditions such as whiplash, cervical spondylosis, neck strains, or post-surgical recovery. The brace helps limit neck movement, alleviates pain, and promotes healing. Typical elements of neck brace include:
- Support Structure: Typically made from rigid or semi-rigid materials to provide stability to the neck.
- Padding: Soft cushioning to enhance comfort and reduce pressure on the skin.
- Adjustable Straps: Allow for a customized fit to ensure the brace stays securely in place.
- Breathable Materials: Designed to allow airflow, improving comfort during extended wear.
- Contoured Design: Fits the natural shape of the neck to provide effective support while allowing for some movement if needed.
- Chin Support: In some models, a chin support helps maintain proper alignment of the head and neck.
These features work together to enhance mobility for individuals with specific orthopedic or neurological conditions.
