Sufferers of whiplash, minor acute neck injuries, herniated cervical discs, cervical arthritis, and degenerative disc disease, as well as those recovering from cervical vertebrae surgery will all appreciate the semi-rigid support of the Push med Neck Brace. The anatomically shaped brace is made of supportive foam designed to be malleable enough to adjust slightly for each individual user. A detachable, more rigid component can be inserted into the brace, where it rests on the breastbone and jaw and provides stiffer support for those who need it.
The latex-free, microfiber material wicks away moisture to keep the neck cool and prevent chaffing, while Sympress technology ensures a gentle, soft touch. The entire brace, excluding the detachable component, is machine washable for hassle-free cleaning. Net bags are a great way to ensure the brace stays in peak condition. Braces should be hung to dry and never tumble dried, and should also never be washed in the dishwasher.
All Push braces include a "dot system" that helps users secure straps in the right place in the proper order. Users start with the strap that has one dot and secure it to the corresponding single dot hook-and-loop pad, and then move on to the strap with two dots and match it to the two-dot hook-and-loop pad, and so on until the brace is completely secured.
To determine size for the Push Med Neck Brace, measure around the neck as shown, as well as the height of the neck from below earlobe to just above collar bone.
