USE
The device must be correctly positioned on both sides and the patient must feel
completely comfortable. As the load-bearing structure is made of plastic
material, make sure that it does not cause damage or irritation to the patient;
furthermore, during the application, its structure must not be modified in order
to guarantee a correct functionality. In case the patient shows signs of
hyperpressure or discomfort due to the device stiffness, immediately remove it
until the situation has been completely normalised. In case the subject himself
or herself is not able to show such discomfort or undesirable effects deriving
from the presence of the collar, carry out periodical inspections to check the
situation.
The doctor must inform the patient about the device usage times based on the
type of pathology. The success of the application depends upon the patient’s
care to follow the doctor’s instructions and the continuous contacts with him.
