Abstract
A cervical collar is formed by folding a blank of resilient foamed elastomer or synthetic resin along a longitudinal centerline and enclosing the folded blank in a stretch fabric cover. The rounded, folded edge contributes increased deflection resistance through the vertical dimension of the folded blank and is configured for placement against the jaw areas of a wearer. Openings in the blank allow installation of plugs or air bladders to adjust the vertical dimension and deflection resistance of the collar to accommodate application to necks of various heights and strengths.
