COLLAR REMOVAL & SKIN CARE
Keeping your Miami J
®
and the skin beneath clean is an
important part of your treatment. Daily cleaning will help
to prevent skin irritation. Cleaning the collar will require at
least one set of replacement pads.
When you are at home you should shower or bathe with the
collar on. After you wash you will need to take the collar off
to wash your neck and change the pads.
To wash under collar and change pads while lying down:
Lie flat in bed without a pillow. Keep your head in a neutral
position.
Do not bend your neck forward, back-
ward or from side to side.
Before removing the
collar, note where the
ends of the
straps are.
When you put the
collar back on, the
straps should be in the
same position. You
may use a pen to mark
the positions on the
white plastic shell.
