• Large anterior opening giving full access to the carotid triangle • Strategically placed foam pyramids disperse the fluid in the EXCEL packs over the carotid triangle for maximum cooling efficiency • Pyramids also apply a SMALL amount of pressure which is proven to more effectively penetrate cooling more subcutaneously • High lateral cheek supports provide superior immobilization for side to side head movement • Collar itself is designed with same specs providing the exact same flexion/extension immobilization • Vasodilatation of the carotid triangle allows for greater counter-current heat exchange as blood flows, or moves through the neck via chest compressions • Allows for easy exchange of EXCEL packs for continuous care while still providing c-spine immobilization |
