Ossur Miami J Cervical Collar - Regular

Muy práctico y fácil de unas

This product allows me to get out of the house and ride (not drive!) to places again. I really missed being able to visit my mom, and I can go more safely now with this product. It keeps me from developing whiplash during turns and defensive maneuvers, which is pretty easy to do when your neckbones are as severely compromised as mine and the only things holding your head up are your muscles. Thank you for opening my doors to a little more freedom! However: don't drive while wearing this, it is basically a free-form hans device that does not connect to a seat and you can't turn your head to see what is about to run a red light and t-bone your vehicle! I leave it off around the house so said muscles don't get too lazy, but it sure helps when the headaches hit and I need support!

The chest piece is too long. Needs to be adjustable

The Miami J brace is very stiff plastic, with a very thin layer of insubstantial soft padding. So you can feel the hard plastic through it easily. Since it is hard plastic, it doesn’t give and therefore this brace will probably only be comfortable if you happen to be the exact dimensions they formed the brace around. In my case my jaw is too wide, the chin support is narrow and my jaw doesn’t fit in it. The jaw width is not adjustable and so I can’t really fit this brace properly. It’s not clear that getting any other size would solve the jaw problem, although since the narrow jaw pushes my chin up maybe the shorter neck version would work better. I also bought an Aspen Vista collar which I can’t recommend either since it could not be adjusted small enough. It however does have thicker padding than the Miami J, so if you have a bulky neck it might work for you.
