Description
The Neck Gel Support helps position the head in a more central and elevated position, promoting better function during daily activities such as eating, drinking, communication, and social engagement. Combining medical-grade silicone Dimensional Gel padding with pressure relieving foam and a flexible inner core, the Neck Gel allows for infinite adjustments to achieve the perfect fit. By elevating the head, the Neck Gel Support improves swallowing and saliva management, while reducing the risk of pressure sores on the chest and in the neck’s crease.
Note: Care should be taken when positioning the Neck Gel to ensure that swallowing and airways are not obstructed.
