Minerva cervical choracic collar

The Minerva cervical thoracic collar is a medical device used to immobilize the neck and upper torso. It is typically made of two pieces: a rigid plastic or metal shell that fits around the chest and neck, and a softer inner lining for comfort. The collar has straps that hold it in place.

The Minerva collar is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Stable fractures of the cervical or thoracic spine
• Spinal cord injuries
• Severe ligament sprains or strains in the neck or upper back
• After surgery on the spine or neck

The Minerva collar can be uncomfortable to wear, and it can limit a person’s ability to move their head and neck. It is important to wear the collar exactly as prescribed by a doctor.
