Vacuum Cervical Collar (VCC) MT80513

MED TECH Adult Vacuum Cervical Collar (VCC) – MT80513

Reusable vacuum cervical immobilization collar designed to conform around the patient's neck for EMS, rescue and emergency transport applications.

Product Overview

The MED TECH Adult Vacuum Cervical Collar (VCC) – MT80513 provides conforming cervical support using vacuum immobilization technology rather than a fixed rigid collar design.

While air remains inside the collar, the VCC is soft and malleable so it can be wrapped around the patient's neck with minimal unnecessary movement. Once positioned, air is removed through the vacuum valve and the collar becomes firm, maintaining the molded shape around the patient.

MED TECH's patented multi-chamber system helps keep the internal beads evenly distributed throughout the collar instead of allowing them to collect on one side, providing more consistent molding and support. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Adult Vacuum Cervical Immobilization

The MT80513 is the adult-size MED TECH VCC. MED TECH also offers a separate pediatric model, MT80515. The VCC can be used independently or together with a Vacuum Spine Board or other full-body immobilization system. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Key Features

Conforms to the Patient

Unlike traditional rigid collars, the VCC can be wrapped around the patient's neck while it is still soft and flexible. MED TECH specifically notes that the neck does not need to be straightened before application; the collar can be molded around the patient in the position found before the vacuum is applied.

Once evacuated, the collar becomes rigid and maintains the customized shape. The fit can also be adjusted after evacuation by reopening and repositioning the fastening system as needed. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Cleaning & Reuse

MED TECH recommends keeping the valve closed during cleaning. The VCC can be cleaned using normal detergents and appropriate disinfectants according to facility protocol. The manufacturer also states that the collar can be machine washed and dried when the provided cleaning instructions are followed. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
