Vacuum Cervical Collar (VCC)

The Vacuum Cervical Collar is made with the new patented "Multi-Chamber System" and makes them easy to use: rather than the beads all collecting one side of the device, they are instead distributed equally within the collar. The system allows the beads to occasionally shift slightly vertical. A quick shake will spread them evenly before placing the VCC on the patient.

All Med Tech Sweden vacuum products are X-Ray translucent, and can be X-Rayed without having to remove the device.

Cleaning Guidelines

It is very important that you Close The Valve before cleaning it. Always make sure to scrub and rinse off bodily fluid such as blood and mucus with Cold Water before it has dried up. Next you can clean it as usual with normal detergents and hot water. If required, apply disinfectant as per your standard protocol. Finally, hang the collar up to dry.

The collar can be cleaned in a standard washing machine and dryer at 60 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit) and use normal detergents, but remember to close the valve and always wash it on cold cycle if blood or other bodily fluids are found on the splint.

The Valve can be removed if it needs separate cleaning. Be sure no to lose it and never wash the collar without the valve fully closed.

Maintenance Information

Regularly verify that the valve is functional and check the valve or valve holder to make sure they are in the right tracks.
