SNUG IT UP! (cont´d)
Hook and loop
straps must be
aligned symmetrically and oriented
“blue-on-blue” to the Front
adhesive sections. When the
patient is properly fit, there should
be equal amounts of excess
hook
and loop
overhanging the Front
blue adhesive sections. These may
be trimmed.

Whenever
possible, fit
the collar to a sitting
or standing patient.
Collar application must be secure to ensure proper fit, main-
tain alignment, and to prevent the chin from slipping inside.
If the patient can slip his/her chin inside the collar, it is clear
indication that it is not snug enough. It is nearly impossible
to fit a properly sized collar too tight.
UPRIGHT APPLICATION:
To fit the collar to a sitting or standing patient, follow the in-
structions for supine application except apply the Front first
with the Assist Strap.
