The RED Philadelphia® Halo™ was designed in 1988 as an attachment
to the RED Philadelphia Collar. When applied to the patient, it greatly
restricts rotation of the cervical spine.
As the patient recovers, the Halo can be removed while allowing the
Collar to remain on the patient.
May be used in conjunction with the RED Philadelphia Stabilizer attachment.
Every product we manufacture demonstrates our commitment to patient
compliance and recovery through superior immobilization and comfort.

Proper hygiene and product
cleaning are an important part of a patient's recovery. In addition,
it will keep the patient clean, comfortable and prevent skin irritation.
A qualified healthcare professional will establish your cleaning routine.
After the Halo and Collar are removed, gently clean the patient's
neck and face; if there is skin irritation contact a qualified healthcare
professional. The patient's neck and face should be dried completely
before the Halo and Collar are applied.
The entire Halo and Collar can be cleaned with mild soap and clean
water. The Halo and Collar should be dried completely with a cloth
or air-dried before they are applied to the patient. While a mild
disinfectant is acceptable, do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
Apply the Halo and Collar as instructed by a qualified healthcare
professional. |
