Cervikalstütze

摘要

The invention relates to a cervical brace consisting of a brace body (4) which can be placed around the neck of the patient and can be fastened and unfastened at the narrow ends. The upper and lower edge contours (15, 16) of the brace body are adapted to fit the anatomy of the head and shoulder area around the neck. The brace body (4) consists of an upper and lower section (15, 16), said sections being divided by an attenuation area (17). The upper section (15) rests in the neck area in the manner of conventional cervical supports, whilst the lower section fits around the entire base of the neck. Said lower section prevents the cervical support from slipping around the neck. The inventive cervical brace hereby restricts the range of movement of the cervical spine to a greater degree and keeps the muscles warm, without reducing the level of comfort for the wearer.
