Abstract: A cervical collar is provided having a front collar portion fabricated from a substantially incompressible plastic resin and a compressible, flexible foam strip mounted on one side of the front body section. The front collar portion includes a mandible support portion comprising a chin support portion extending transversely in an upper central portion of the front collar portion and a pair of laterally extending jaw support portions which connect at their distal ends to side portions of the front collar portion. Each jaw support portion includes at least one opening formed therein for facilitating bending of the jaw support to conform to a wearer's jaw line.
