Aspen Vista TX Cervical Collar Set with Replacement Pads

$260.00

The Aspen® Vista® TX Collar is the Vista Cervical Collar with a thoracic extension — a chest plate that reaches down onto the sternum, adding motion restriction below the neck for injuries that need more than a collar alone.

Height is set with the same self-locking dial on the front panel, so one collar covers the range six fixed sizes would otherwise take, and cotton-lined pads sit at every contact point. This listing is the set: the collar plus a second, spare set of pads, so one can be washed while the other is worn during a long course of treatment.

This is a medical-grade orthopaedic brace that incorporates rigid structural support. Braces and orthoses built with rigid components are usually covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

This one comes in a single size. Contact us if you would like help checking the fit.

Peel the pads away from the hook dots to take them off the collar.
Hand wash the pads with mild soap and warm water. Do not machine wash and do not use bleach. Rinse thoroughly.
Wipe the plastic shell with mild soap and water, rinse it, and towel dry before re-attaching the pads.
Press the pads with a towel to squeeze out the water, then lay them flat to air dry. Do not use heat.
Use a spare pad set while the first one is drying.

Aspen prints these steps for a clinician fitting the collar; a first fitting should be supervised.

With the head kept in neutral alignment, press the back panel down and slide it behind the neck, with the loop straps running between the ear and the trapezius (the sloping muscle between neck and shoulder).
Start with the front panel at its lowest setting. Pull the sides of the front panel apart and place the bottom of the tracheal aperture (the breathing opening) at the sternal notch, the dip you can feel at the base of the throat.
Bring the sides of the front panel up and over the trapezius muscles. At this stage the chin piece need not touch the chin.
Hold the collar against the chest, pull the dial out to unlock it and turn it clockwise to raise the chin piece. Release the dial once the chin piece supports the chin and it locks itself.
Attach the loop strap on each side, then tighten one side at a time and re-attach, matching the two sides so the fit is snug and symmetrical.
Check that the back of the chin piece is not pressing on the throat. If it is, lift the back ends of the side panels up off the trapezius muscles.
Re-check the height and the back panel straps whenever the wearer changes position.
