patient’s neck. Fasten the hook and loop strap, then secure the
other side in the same way. Alternately tighten the straps, one at
a time, until they are in the original position.
The hook and loop straps must be aligned symmetrically and oriented
“blue-on-blue” to the hook and loop on the Front.
If the patient can slip his/her chin inside the collar, it is a clear indication
collar is not snug enough.

12. Patient laying down
After the collar is in place, gently roll the patient onto his/her side. (Place
a small pillow or folded towel under his/her cheek to prevent the head
from tilting sideways.)
13. Undo the Hook and loop strap on the top side of the collar and fold
the Back down to clean and check the back of the patient’s head for
redness or irritation.
Make sure the back collar is replaced and securely re-fastened after skin
check.
