The Aspen® CTO combines highly effective immobilization of the cervical and upper thoracic spine with a level of comfort that makes it well tolerated by patients.  Research has shown substantially progressive immobilization in going from a stand-alone cervical collar, to a two-post device, and then on to a four-post orthosis. For these reasons, the Aspen® CTO system offers the greatest versatility available when dealing with cervicothoracic problems in today's cost conscious healthcare environment.

The Aspen® Cervicothoracic bracing system™ provides a fully integrated approach for quantifiable motion restriction of cervical spine patients.  Physicians are now able to prescribe patient therapies based upon the needs defined at specific vertebral levels to ensure the best possible outcomes. 

By incorporating design elements that allow the Aspen System to be “stepped down” from a 4 post CTO, to a 2 post model and then to a stand alone collar, it is now possible to tailor the degree of motion restriction to the specific needs of the patient.  And, because no ferrous metal is used, the brace is MRI compatible.
