Fitting Instructions
Putting on and taking off the HeadUp Collar will be easier with an assistant; please ask
them to read the instructions for use in full first.
The HeadUp Collar must be fitted by an appropriately trained medical professional.
Each component of the HeadUp Collar must be customised or moulded to conform to the
patient’s body shape whilst delivering the required amount of Support/correction.

•
Step 1 – Select the appropriate size HeadUp Collar from the measurement chart in the
size guide.

Step 2 – Heat the HeadUp Snood gently using a heat gun on a low setting (or a hair dryer
on medium/high) until the fabric HeadUp Snood is warm to touch.

•
Step 3 – Apply the HeadUp Snood whilst it is warm aligning the chin of the patient with
the Chin section of the HeadUp Snood
•
Step 4 – Mould the HeadUp Snood to the patient’s body shape with the head alignment
corrected by drawing the two edges of the HeadUp Snood posteriorly to wrap around the
back of the patients’ head/neck

the Micro Grip fastening onto the outside of the HeadUp Snood
