A one-height collar only matches one chin-to-chest length, so the next size up is a different SKU, not a dial. The Ossur Philadelphia Tracheotomy Collar is a two-piece Plastazote collar with a large trachea opening. Adult heights are 2.25 in, 3.25 in, 4.25 in, and 5.25 in, plus infant and pediatric. Measure neck circumference and height from the chin to the sternal notch.
The opening is there for carotid pulse checks and emergency tracheotomies. That is why this is the trach collar, not a closed Miami J.
Adult SKUs are 2.25, 3.25, 4.25, and 5.25 in. Infant is 1.25 in. Pediatric is 1.75 in. Match the height the clinician measured.
Anterior and posterior pieces use Plastazote foam with rigid plastic reinforcement. It is water-resistant for bathing and hydro-therapy.
The collar is MRI, CT, and X-ray lucent and MR safe. Do not assume every neck collar is.
This collar is for gross immobilization of the cervical spine, including c-spine precaution and pre or post c-spine surgery, when a Philadelphia trach collar in a named height and neck size is what they were told to get.
Skip it for a compromised airway, known spinal deformities such as ankylosing spondylitis, or penetrating trauma. Compare Miami J Select if the paperwork says Select, not Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is a fixed-height, two-piece trach collar. Miami J Select is one adjustable collar with seven heights. Order the name on the discharge papers.
Trade-off: you get a named Philadelphia height and size with a trach opening. You give up Select's one-collar height dial.
