Hello Barbara,
I was not able to “try on” any collars before buying, but I did do some more research and did decide to just go with the original “Philadelphia Cervical Collar”. I found information about measuring and sizing to help find the best fit for me and called the company before ordering to verify I had my information right. I want to be able to clean it too, as you mentioned, that made sense. I was able to find it online for a very reasonable price at a medical supply, as well as the liners. I paid about $50 for both with shipping, so I was pretty happy. There is a wide variety of prices you will find online for the collar itself ($17.-$50)so shopping around is a must. I was stunned and shocked at what the mark up is in the medical orthotic dispensing clinics for the same thing! ($150 -$200). Best to get it online for sure. Thank you again for your help,
Rebecca
