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.

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.

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

This is very hard and uncomfortable it increased the pain instead of lessening it.

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.

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

This was bought as a prop for a play. While it did serve its purpose for us, it was a bit of a pain! It was not very sturdy, had to be readjusted multiple times. Wouldn’t stay tight, bent so easily! We had to keep bending and shaping it between every rehearsal. I definitely would NOT recommend if you need this for actual support!
