Fitting the Canadian Collar

Step 1

Remove the chin peice and breastplate.

Remove the white anterior tubes. 

Pull out the T-Junctions from the ends of the clear pvc tubing.

Step 2

Determine the length of the clear pvc tubing around the neck.

Select the length of the anterior tubes.

Allow space for the chin peice and breastplate.

Step 3

Trim the pvc tubing to length.

Allow a little extra for snugging up the fit.

Do not cut the tubing too short.

Step 4

Replace the T-Junctions and the anterior tubes.

Replace the chin peice and breast plate.

                                              Step 5

                                                        Check the fit.

                                                        Adjust the position of the chin peice by trimming the clear pvc tubing.

                                                        Trimming the upper pvc tubing will pull the chin piece in.

                                                        Trimming the lower clear pvc tubing will pull the breast plate in.

Final Checks

Check that the Collar fits symmetrically and that the breastplate is comfortable on the chest.

Extra tubes can be added for lateral support. (Shown)

Extra tubes and T-Junctions are available as a package of accessories. (See accessories).

The tubes can  be cut with a sharp knife.

The rear white tubes should rest comfortably on the back of the head. 

Add padding between the T-Junctions if needed for extra comfort.

The Collar is put on by inserting the chinpeice into the front tube on the left of the Collar.

The breastplate is then inserted.
