Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure for the ORTONYX ACNS03 cervical collar?
Keep your head in a neutral position and measure the vertical distance from the tip of your mandible (chin) to the sternal notch (top of the breastbone). Use this measurement to select S, M, or L, then fine-tune with the adjustable hook-and-loop closure. If you are between sizes, consult your healthcare professional for guidance.
Is the ACNS03 a soft or rigid neck brace?
The ACNS03 is a soft foam cervical collar with a contoured design. It provides gentle, uniform support and a motion-limiting reminder without rigid plastic components. This makes it comfortable for daily wear when a soft cervical aid is recommended by a clinician.
How tight should I fasten the collar?
Secure the collar so it is snug but not restrictive. You should be able to fit one to two fingers between your skin and the collar. If you experience difficulty breathing or swallowing, or any numbness or tingling, loosen the collar or remove it and seek medical advice.
Can I sleep while wearing this cervical collar?
Only sleep in a cervical collar if instructed by your healthcare professional. If approved, use for the duration and sleep positions recommended by your clinician. Ensure the collar is not overly tight and discontinue use if you notice increased discomfort or breathing difficulty.
Can I wear the ACNS03 while driving?
Ask your clinician before driving in any neck support. The ACNS03 helps limit motion, which may affect your ability to turn your head. If your clinician approves, ensure you can perform all necessary driving movements safely. Never compromise visibility or mobility.
Will this fit under my clothing?
The low-profile foam design is intended to sit comfortably under many shirts and collared tops. Thinner or tighter collars may show an outline. Choose the color (Dark Blue or Light Beige) that best suits your wardrobe, and adjust the closure for a close yet comfortable fit.
What materials are used, and is it breathable?
The collar features a medium-density foam core with a soft liner and a natural cotton strap. The cotton assists with airflow and moisture absorption, supporting breathable comfort for daily wear. If you have known sensitivities, consider a short initial wear and check skin response.
How do I clean and care for the collar?
Hand wash only in cool water with mild soap. Rinse thoroughly, remove excess water, and air dry away from heat. Do not iron or machine dry, as heat can damage the foam and fabric. Proper care helps maintain shape, comfort, and durability.
How long should I wear the collar each day?
Follow your healthcare professional’s guidance for daily wear time. Soft collars are typically used for short intervals or specific activities as directed. Avoid prolonged, unsupervised use, and remove the collar periodically to perform any clinician-recommended mobility or posture exercises.
What sizes and colors are available?
The ACNS03 is available in Small, Medium, and Large. Colors include Dark Blue and Light Beige. Measure from the tip of the mandible to the sternal notch to help select a size, then adjust the hook-and-loop closure for a precise fit.
Is this suitable after injury or surgery?
Use only under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional. A clinician should determine whether a soft cervical collar is appropriate for your condition and specify how long and how often to wear it, including any activity restrictions.
What should I do if I feel discomfort, numbness, or dizziness?
Remove the collar immediately and seek medical advice. The collar should not cause numbness, tingling, increased pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness. Do not overtighten, and ensure you can breathe and swallow comfortably at all times.
Can I exercise while wearing this collar?
Ask your clinician before using the collar during exercise. Because it helps limit motion, it may not be suitable for dynamic activities unless specifically recommended by a healthcare professional for a defined purpose and duration.
Does the ACNS03 come with a warranty?
Manufacturer warranty information is not specified. The product is typically covered by the store’s standard return policy; please review the returns page or contact customer support for details before purchase.
