XCollar & NeXsplint Features and Capabilities
Instructions for below: Please make each of the 5 main bullet points appear on a short list under the above heading.  when the mouse scrolls over one point, it expands revealing the sub-bullet points for that point only.Thank you J.

• Best Available Treatment
• A unique Cervical Immobilization System splints the head to the torso—above C-1 and below C-7—offering superior immobilization and support to truly protect the cervical vertebras.
• An unprecedented range of body sizes can be treated with one device.  Adjustable design is able to maintain proper neutral position for patients ranging from pediatric (weighing approximately 30 lbs) up to large adults (approximately 350 lbs).
• The only cervical immobilization system that adjusts to the patient's “POSITION OF COMFORT” even if the patient shows substantial rotation, flexion-extension, or lateral flexion, minimizing patient manipulation.
• Addresses and overcomes documented limitations of traditional c-spine collars.  See how the XCollar and NeXsplint address the Department of Transportation standards. DOT standards page
• Allows rescuers to initiate treatment sooner, providing a higher level of care when the vehicle’s crumble zone does not allow for rescuers to support manual c-spine immobilization until the patient has been extricated.
• The ergonomic design of the device improves patient comfort and gives rescuers greater physical and visual access to the ears and trachea.  This also aids in quickly obtaining a secured airway.
• Clinical data proves that utilizing only one device (XCollar), rescuers can provide better patient immobilization than when using a conventional c-collar, backboard, and head restraints combined.

 

• Faster
• The only cervical immobilization system that adjusts to the patient's “POSITION OF COMFORT” eliminating the time needed to improvise with towels, tape, etc.
• Allows rescuers to initiate treatment sooner providing a higher level of care when the vehicle’s crumble zone does not allow for rescuers to support manual c-spine immobilization until the patient has been extricated.
• The ergonomic design of the device improves patient comfort and gives rescuers greater physical and visual access to the ears and trachea.  This also aids in quickly obtaining a secured airway.
• A complete cervical immobilization system that works as a force multiplier when the number of patients exceeds the number of rescuers.  In 30 seconds a rescuer can achieve a better level of patient immobilization than when using antiquated, sub-standard, labor-intensive procedures that require more equipment.

 

• Treat More Patients
• Bilateral adjustment during application and 24 vertical positions allow the rescuer to adjust to almost every body type.
• A complete cervical immobilization system that works as a force multiplier when the number of patients exceeds the number of rescuers.  In 30 seconds a single rescuer can achieve a better level of patient immobilization than when using antiquated, sub-standard, labor-intensive procedures that require more equipment.

• Requires Fewer Personnel
• Addresses and overcomes documented limitations of traditional c-spine collars.  See how the XCollar and NeXsplint address the Department of Transportation standards (link to DOT standard page)
• A complete cervical immobilization system that works as a force multiplier when the number of patients exceeds the number of rescuers.  In 30 seconds a single rescuer can achieve a better level of patient immobilization than when using antiquated, sub-standard, labor-intensive procedures that require more equipment.
• Our unique method minimizes patient manipulation, therefore allows a single rescuer to provide care to multiple patients that would otherwise be unattended for an extended period of time.

 

• With Less Equipment
• The only cervical immobilization system that adjusts to the patient's “POSITION OF COMFORT” eliminating the time needed to improvise with towels, tape, etc.
• Clinical data proves that one device allows rescuers to provide better patient immobilization than when using a conventional c-collar, backboard, and head restraints combined.
• A superior tool for technical rescue incidents.  In high angle rope rescue, confined space rescue, and trench collapse scenarios, this device allows rescuers to make rapid, unparalleled c-spine stabilization as early as when initial  patient contact is made.
