Thuasne Ortel C2 Plus Soft Collar Neck Brace

Suffering from discomfort and pain in your neck tends to make the seemingly easiest actions (e.g. turning around) extremely difficult. The Thuasne Ortel C2 Plus Soft Collar Neck Brace is an analgesic support that uses an anatomically shaped design to immobilise the neck and upper spine, reducing pain in a comfortable manner during the post-injury rehabilitation phase.

Sizing Information for the Post-Injury Neck Brace

The Ortel C2 Plus Soft Brace is available in three different sizes. To find the correct one for you, simply measure the circumference of your neck across the throat area as demonstrated in the image below.

Once you have this measurement, please consult the sizing chart below. If your measurement falls on a sizing boundary, our product experts recommend selecting the larger size for optimum comfort.

Size	Neck Circumference
Small	28 – 33cm (11 – 13″)
Medium	34 – 39cm (13 – 15″)
Large	40 – 46cm (15 – 18″)

Which Height Neck Brace Is Right for Me?

The Thuasne Ortel C2 Brace is available in three different height options. To find the right one for you, straighten your head and measure the distance between the edge of the chin and the top of the sternum.

If you are having difficulty finding your sternum, locate your collar bones and measure from the intersection at which they meet in the centre of your chest. This measurement should be taken “as the crow flies” from one point to another without running the tape measure along the chin and throat.

Height	Measurement
Short	7.5cm (3″)
Regular	9cm (3.5″)
Long	11cm (4.5″)

Why Is This Height Measurement Important?

This measurement ensures the brace you purchase will fit between the underside of your chin and your chest. If you have followed our sizing guidance above and are still concerned about restriction, we recommend selecting a size larger than indicated.

Sizing Tips and Tricks

• Don’t wrap your tape measure too tight; a loose circumference measurement is fine
• Ensure you accurately locate your sternum using our guidance
• If you fall between sizes, select the larger of the two options

How Do You Correctly Fit the Thuasne Ortel Brace?

To correctly apply the Ortel C2 Plus, undo the Velcro fastening, tilt your neck back and place the front side of the brace underneath your chin against your neck. Once in place, take the loose sides and attach at the back of the neck, fastening the brace in place using the hook and loop fastening attachments.

If you have a condition that greatly restricts movement, we recommend you seek assistance when fitting and applying your Orten C2 Brace.
