The Flamingo Cervical Collar OC 2003 is a soft cervical neck support designed to provide mild support while limiting excessive neck movement. It is intended for situations such as neck strain, sprain, whiplash and cervical discomfort. The design also acts as a gentle reminder to maintain a more appropriate neck position during everyday activities. The manufacturer's catalogue identifies this model as OC 2003.
The collar combines soft foam and cotton fabric for everyday comfort. Air vents in the collar body improve ventilation, which can be useful when the support is worn for longer periods. Its construction is designed to provide support without the level of immobilisation associated with rigid cervical orthoses.
Correct sizing is important for a cervical collar. For this model, size selection is based on the distance between the chin and sternum when the neck is in an extended position, rather than simply choosing your usual clothing size. The available sizes are S, M, L, XL and 2XL.

3. What sizes are available?

5. Can this cervical collar be used for neck pain?
It is designed to provide mild neck support and is listed for cervical discomfort, strain and similar situations. However, the cause of neck pain can vary, so persistent or severe pain should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
6. Does the Flamingo Cervical Collar restrict neck movement?
