Laerdel Stifneck Select Adult Adjustable Collar by Laerdel

A few years ago I was a passenger in a multi-vehicle accident. An off-duty paramedic raced through across the median strip -- the area between the north and south-bound freeway lanes -- and put on a neck collar like this one on a woman whose head had hit a windshield had become imbedded with broken glass. Every since then I've thought I should carry a neck brace in case I come across a similar scene. Another reason I made the buying decision -- the daughter of a friend of mine was hit by a car and was hurt but ok, until some well-meaning people moved her neck. She's been paralyzed ever since.

I was surprised that this brace worked so well to straighten out my neck because it was WAY cheaper than most others. Very adjustable!

My husband must wear a brace for 3 months when OOB. His other brace would absorb water like a sponge if he wore it while bathing. This brace keeps him safe and is waterproof. Can't review for long term comfort, but works great for our purposes.

cheaply made. does not adjust. not easy to put on and off. their claims on amazon were completely false!

I love this brace! It’s a little uncomfortable at first but as someone with a major cervical spine injury it holds your neck in place far better than the more cushioned and more expensive ones which is the entire point of collars. So, if you crave stability over comfort this is the one to buy. And with that said, it’s not even than uncomfortable. You get used to it.

It is all that it says it is and works fine. Shipping was prompt. I'd recommend it as the materials seem high quality and the pattern and molding work on the rigid plastic is top notch. It is extremely easy to adjust, making it a good collar to have in a trauma bag. It will store flat until needed, saving space in the bag, too. Comes sealed in a plastic bag that should maintain it clean and fresh until needed. The cannula hooks are a nice feature, too. Obviously designed by someone who uses collars regularly.While this is intended to primarily be a one-use trauma collar, I intend to wear it for several hours a day, so I used a heat gun to soften the rigid polyethylene panels so I could custom fit it exactly to my neck and shoulders. Ten minutes work and it now fits perfectly and is working well for me.

It seemed to be a great neck brace, but it was too big around. I have a long skinny neck, and in order for it to fit the way I needed it too, it wasn't going to work. It over lapped the Velcro and only held on by a small part of it.

Not much to say other then fair price on a pretty standard cervical collar.
