Abstract: An improved cervical collar suitable for use in emergency or non-emergency situations for adjustment on or off a patient including the elements of an ergonomic occipital support region 102, a bridge junction 119 and an ergonomic spinal support region 101, an adjustable height neck support region 103, the neck support region is vertically aligned but may be horizontally offset, the spinal support region is stoppably and stowably hinged with the occipital support region at the bridge junction, the occipital support region is independently circumferentially sized and positioned adjustably with the neck support region; the spinal support region is independently and adjustably secured to the neck support region distinctively from the occipital and neck support region connections.

Abstract: A head/occipital support system for emergency response use, intended to be employed in conjunction with a cervical collar. The system achieves very favorable stowabilty while still providing a wide range of height adjustability to accommodate a range of patients with decreased loading on the head/spine alignment. The system also includes at least one strap(s) to secure the patient by bi-laterally connecting each side of the cervical collar to the patient carrier. An accessory wedge is utilizes for patients requiring a wider range of head support.
