Neck Braces - Medical and Hospital Equipment

Neck braces, also called cervical collars, are emergency immobilization devices carried in ship medical lockers and hospital areas. They support the cervical spine and help restrict neck movement after suspected head, neck, or spinal injury until professional medical assessment is available.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Neck Braces for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Select the correct size and apply according to the manufacturer's instructions. Maintain manual stabilization of the head and neck during fitting; do not use the collar as a substitute for clinical assessment or a complete immobilization procedure.
Maintenance Tips	Inspect regularly for cracks, damaged fasteners, degraded foam, contamination, or loss of adjustment. Clean reusable collars using the manufacturer's approved method, and replace disposable or damaged components.
Safety Notes	Use only by trained personnel. Do not force the neck into alignment, obstruct the airway, or excessively tighten the collar. Monitor breathing, circulation, skin condition, and neurological status, and arrange urgent medical evaluation.
