Product catalog summary
Overview: Aspen® Replacement Pads and Cervical Collars are designed to enhance patient comfort and prevent skin breakdown. They feature dense foam for cushioning and a two-tone color scheme for proper pad replacement. The collars provide substantial motion restriction while distributing support to prevent pressure ulcers.
Specifications: The pads have a hypoallergenic, cotton contact surface that absorbs fluids, minimizing moist contact and highlighting areas needing attention. The collars include CushionFlex Tabs™ and an Occipital Support Strap™ for a custom fit and enhanced comfort.
Design Features: The collars are designed to maintain skin contact pressures below the capillary closing threshold, minimizing skin breakdown while providing effective motion restriction.
Performance: Scientifically evaluated using videofluoroscopy, the Aspen Collar demonstrates superior motion restriction capabilities. The Aspen Cervicothoracic Bracing System™ allows for tailored therapies based on specific vertebral levels.
Customization and Comfort: The CushionFlex Tabs™ and Occipital Support Strap™ allow for a custom fit, enhancing comfort and compliance. Hypoallergenic, cotton-lined pads further improve patient comfort.
Customer Support: Aspen offers extensive customer support with local representatives and in-service nurse educators. Support includes training on proper use, sizing, application, and hygienic care.
Additional Options: The system can be adjusted from a 4 post CTO to a 2 post model and then to a standalone collar, offering tailored motion restriction. The brace is MRI compatible due to the absence of ferrous metal.
Procedures: Proper fitting involves peeling back, tightening, and contouring the collar. Regular hygienic care is crucial for effective use.
Standards and Recommendations: The document references studies and protocols supporting the collar's effectiveness in reducing skin breakdown and providing motion restriction. Customer training and support are emphasized to ensure proper use.
References: Several studies and personal correspondences validate the collar's effectiveness in preventing pressure ulcers and improving patient outcomes.
