Aspen Vista Cervical Collar - 2-Piece Neck Brace for Restricting Cervical Motion -Relieves Neck Discomfort and Spine Pressure - Soft Cotton Padding - 6 Height Adjustments

Aspen neck collar with the dial was great. Much more comfortable that the Aspen collar without the dial. Make sure when putting it on it fits in the correct position in the back of the neck to keep it properly protecting the back of the neck from movement. It may take a few days to get used to. I have a C2 fracture, Dr has instructed me to wear this 24/7 (I can remove briefly to shower) . The pads do get a little warm when wearing, hopefully you’re not having to wear this in hot weather or hot/humid climate. I have 4 different hard collars, by far this is the Best one for sleeping . After wearing it 24/7 for 5 weeks, the jaw area that goes up and down starts to slip, I had to buy a 2nd o one to have on hand just in case it breaks, you don’t want to be without this one. It’s up to you to make sure this is properly put on and properly secured but if worn correctly, this is by far the most comfortable and secure neck collar choice. Great price even if you have to buy a 2nd one

Just like the one I had years ago. Cheaper this time. Thanks

I am recovering from spine surgery and this collar works great! It's easy to use and adjust, either by the Velcro straps or the turn dial in front. The shipment arrived on time and in great condition.

I am 10 weeks post op from cervical 5-7 ACDF spine surgery I needed a second neck brace, the one I was given at hospital was an aspen it was over $200 for a second one this aspen was $50 and replacement pads were $15 my doctor approved of this brace it’s little lighter and does bend a little more but it has kept my neck stable for 9 weeks I wear it all the time!

Compared to other collars I've seen, this Aspen Vista seems to be well made. The one star is NOT because of the quality.But, good luck trying to get it adjusted if nobody's around to help you. Directions do show how to adjust it (somewhat), with another pair of hands helping you. You WILL need another pair of hands with this initial (once only, I hope) step. Also, turning the knob, and other adjustments, aren't easy if you've got hand/finger/joint problems.This type of issue hadn't crossed my mind since nothing in the product ad or reviews even hinted at it and while this isn't a common issue, some other folks might not think of it either.Once I use it, I'll update this review regarding it's effectiveness in helping the physical issue...... ..... ..... Update ..... ..... ..... I envy all the folks who are able to adjust and wear this collar.I can't. It cannot be adjusted enough to fit my ... relatively normal neck and head.. I didn't say "mind", I said head.It cannot be pulled snug enough for the back section to properly support the head and tighten the collar, leaving a lot of room to move.I actually got a EMT friend to advise and was told these are not easy to use if you have any mobility issues and are trying to put it on when you're alone.They were designed more for an emergency application by a trained professional.As I found out. No matter how it's adjusted or how tight the velcro is pulled, it will NOT restrict movement enough to be of any use to me.I guess a trip to an overpriced physical therapist for an equally overpriced collar is is order. But, hopefully it will result in a rigid collar that fits and can be put on without it being a major production.Try this, it's worked for some folks. But, try it before the time to return it passes or you will have "burned" $50.00 ... just like I did.

Sometimes I wake up with a sore neck and then I use this to help it heal the next night.For those having problems putting this on, loosely connect one velcro strap on one side of the collar. Now the front and back sections are connected on a single side like a hinge with the velcro strap. Put the front of collar on your neck and close the back around the back of the neck. Don't worry about it being tight, close it and get the other side's velcro connected losely. Its now on your neck and you only need to do minor adjustments of the straps to get it snug. You can tighten each side's velcro strap one at a time going back and forth with little adjustments by removing and replacing the velcro slightly tighter or loser until you feel the proper snugness is achieved and the collar is centered. Then adjust the chin if needed and you are good. You may need to readjust side straps once you get the chin in the right place.This is how I am putting it on without asking someone else for help.

Money well spent Best I’ve found
