Brain
injuries
in the
military
Military personnel, whether in training or conflict environments, are also impacted significantly. According to the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury center, more than 454,000 U.S. service members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) since 2000. These injuries are typically a result of head impacts and blast waves.
Q30 is partnering with the United States Department of Defense to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and field suitability of the Q-Collar to help prevent or reduce traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by pressure waves from missiles, ballistics, artillery, IEDs, and shoulder-fired weapons.
Types of
traumatic brain
injury
The technology behind the Q-Collar was first envisioned by doctors who identified the movement of the brain inside the skull, or “slosh,” as a key cause of structural changes to the brain. By inventing a simple, yet innovative, device worn around the neck, these doctors determined they could help reduce the movement of the brain.
Blast
Overpressure
The blast wave, or overpressure, affects the brain immediately upon impact with the skull. Energy from a blast wave causes violent brain motion, which can last for seconds after impact.
Beyond Impacts
The Q-Collar has been tested and evaluated in the harshest environments and conditions including with the most Elite US Warfighters. In addition to brain injury protection, the Q-Collar may provide benefits* including:
Reduced Headaches

S.W.A.T. Team Blast Study
Eighteen participants (10 with a Q-Collar, 8 without) had baseline fMRI scanning before a breacher training session. The fMRI scan was repeated after the training session. The results suggest that the Q-Collar could reduce the risk and severity of TBI from blast waves in addition to collisions.

The Q-Collar is designed to be comfortably worn in nearly every environment. The Collar has also been tested for compatibility with most of the current military and government issued helmets.
