Cervical Thoracic Orthosis

Neck and upper spinal injuries demand rigorous stabilization to ensure safe healing and prevent complications. Whether recovering from cervical spine surgery, whiplash, or a spinal cord injury, patients need more than just a neck collar — they require a brace that extends immobilization into the upper thoracic region. The Cervical Thoracic Orthosis (CTO) Brace – MCT0001 is a specialized support system designed to immobilize the cervical and upper thoracic spine, providing maximum stability, superior comfort, and trusted medical-grade protection.

Unlike soft collars or single-level braces, this CTO brace offers multi-point support, distributing control across the chin, occiput, sternum, and shoulders. This ensures complete immobilization of the affected area while minimizing discomfort for long-term wear. Used by healthcare professionals worldwide, it is an essential orthopedic device for patients undergoing spinal rehabilitation.

Key Benefits

• ✅ Complete immobilization of cervical and upper thoracic spine for maximum stability.

• ✅ Post-surgical support for cervical spine operations.

• ✅ Prevents further injury in cases of whiplash or spinal cord trauma.

• ✅ Adjustable straps for a personalized, secure fit.

• ✅ Forehead strap ensures superior stabilization and prevents forward motion.

• ✅ Dual front and back supports provide enhanced chin and occiput control.

• ✅ Designed for comfort – lightweight, padded, and breathable for extended wear.

Indications (Medical Uses)

The Cervical Thoracic Orthosis (CTO) is recommended for:

• Post-cervical spine surgery recovery requiring strict immobilization.

• Whiplash injuries, preventing excessive movement during healing.

• Cervical spinal cord injuries that demand extended stabilization.

• Degenerative cervical conditions requiring rigid external immobilization.

Functions

• Immobilizes the cervical spine and upper thoracic spine, preventing excessive motion and supporting structural healing.

• Stabilizes the head, neck, and upper torso in proper alignment.

• Reduces risk of secondary injury by preventing sudden or abnormal movement.

• Supports rehabilitation following trauma, surgery, or chronic spinal disorders.

Why Choose the Cervical Thoracic Orthosis (MCT0001)?

Not all cervical supports provide thoracic stabilization, which is often essential for post-surgical patients or those with severe injuries. The MCT0001 CTO brace bridges this gap by immobilizing both the cervical and upper thoracic spine, offering superior safety compared to traditional cervical collars.

Its ergonomic design, combined with rigid control and patient comfort, makes it the preferred choice among neurosurgeons, orthopedic specialists, and rehabilitation experts.

Whether recovering from surgery or managing trauma, this brace ensures patients achieve safe, effective, and stable healing outcomes.

How to Use

1. Position the brace against the chest and back, aligning chin and occiput rests.

2. Secure the adjustable straps around shoulders and torso.

3. Adjust the forehead strap for enhanced stabilization.

4. Ensure all fastenings are snug but comfortable.
   (Always follow medical guidance for duration of wear and adjustment.)
