HCPCS: L0174
HCPCS review letter on file.
Miami J Collars. Backed by clinical studies, this cervical brace is designed for the ambulatory patient with stable neck injuries who must wear a cervical collar for an extended period of time. Polyethylene shells provide rigid support and immobilization in all three planes of motion. Angulation of chin and occipital components are adjustable to match patient's anatomy. Contact pressure is evenly distributed across the jaw, sternum and occiput, avoiding direct pressure on the clavicle. All contact areas are lined with comfortable Sorbatex foam padding that quickly absorbs and wicks moisture away from skin for rapid evaporation and avoidance of skin breakdown. Breathable chin and occipital pads are removable for washing.

Sizing...
- Sizing is based on neck height, not patient
size, e.g., Large means patient has a long
neck (3" or more).
A patient with a large body may wear a
Short collar, e.g., muscular male. Many
adults are best fit with a short collar,
regardless of body size.
- Stout is the exception. It also accommodates
the heavier patient with a thick neck.
- Always measure from the highest point on
the shoulder to the lowest point of the chin.
- Super Short is for the kyphotic chin-on-chest
patient. It comes with a Regular Back.
Different sized Back Pieces may be ordered if
patient anatomy dictates.
