Description
The Contour Cervical Collar is a firm foam neck collar shaped to give the head and neck moderate control, with a contoured profile that adds comfort and support under the chin. It is covered in a natural colored stockinette that sits softly against the skin.
- Contoured Profile – The shaped foam supports the chin as well as the neck – the head rests instead of tipping forward
- Firm Foam Core – Firm density foam holds the neck in position – real control for recovery and daily wear
- Stockinette Cover – A natural colored stockinette covers the foam – a smooth surface against the skin all day
- Three Neck Sizes – Small, Medium, and Large cover neck circumferences from 12 to 20 inches – sized by measurement, not guesswork
Shaped Support for a Neck That Needs to Rest
After a neck injury or during a flare of neck pain, the goal is to let the muscles rest while the head stays supported. This collar is designed for moderate neck and head control, and its contoured shape is the difference from a straight foam roll, because the raised chin section carries some of the head's weight and discourages the nodding that tires an injured neck.
The foam is firm and measures 3 to 3.5 inches wide, so the collar fills the space between jaw and chest and limits how far the head can turn or tilt. The stockinette cover keeps the foam off the skin, and the manufacturer also offers this collar with a removable, washable stockinette cover for patients who will wear it for weeks.

Why the Contour Shape Matters in a Collar
Straight foam collars support the sides of the neck and leave the chin to drop. The contour profile adds a shelf under the chin, which is where much of the head's weight wants to go when neck muscles are injured or tired.
- Chin Support Built In – The contoured front carries the chin – less forward nodding and less muscle fatigue through the day
- Firm, Not Soft – Firm foam limits motion instead of only reminding the wearer – the level of control most collar prescriptions intend
- Measured Fit – Three sizes by neck circumference – a collar that fits the neck instead of one that gaps or chokes
