Neck Collar:
A neck collar may be used for some patients where the fracture is stable, to provide comfort by supporting neck muscles and reducing pain. However, the benefits of a collar need to be weighed up against possible impact on the patient's skin, their swallow and ability to feed themselves.
If a patient is discharged with a neck collar they will require a suitable collar care plan in the community to ensure their neck is cleaned and skin checked regularly. The soft pads of the neck collar will also need to be cleaned regularly. Therefore, spare pads should be provided to the patient.
