I wore it in practice, games, training camp, off season stuff, anytime we had a helmet on.

Luke was one of the first NFL athletes to wear the Q-Collar.

He started wearing the device ahead of the 2017 season after a string of concussions.

Why Q-Collar?

What athletes say after a full season

When I wear my collar I feel more protected on the field. It's comfortable after wearing it a few times.

If you are wondering if the Q collar is worth the money the answer is yes. It works very well and is very protective and you can't even feel it on you!

I play division 1 football at Rice where we hit a lot and it makes me feel extra confident knowing I have the Q-Collar!

Q-Collar FAQs

The Q-Collar is a simple and safe device that applies light pressure to the neck. This pressure causes a partial occlusion to the jugular veins and a slight increase of blood volume inside the head and helps reduce the brain’s movement upon impact, which is the primary cause of brain injury. Similar to a seatbelt in a car, the Q-Collar helps to keep the brain more secure during impacts.

"FDA-Cleared” reflects the highest level of review and authorization by the FDA for a non-invasive, low-risk device like the Q-Collar.

The FDA reserves use of the word “approved” for high-risk devices, such as a pacemaker. Following its thorough evaluation of the independent research, the FDA announced that the Q-Collar (a Class 2 medical device) safely and effectively “provides an additional piece of protective equipment athletes can wear when playing sports to help protect their brains from the effects of repetitive head impacts.”

The Q-Collar is designed for any sport or activity where an athlete aged 13+ is at risk of head impacts.

To date, we know of athletes wearing the Q-Collar in football, lacrosse, soccer, hockey, skiing, snowboarding, basketball, volleyball, track & field, bobsled, skeleton, luge, equestrian, rugby, baseball, softball, field hockey, water polo, bull riding, surfing, roller derby, car racing, MMA, boxing & other combat sports!

The Q-Collar is designed to not interfere with existing equipment. It sits comfortably below any helmets and above any shoulder pads (and fits comfortably under a hockey athlete’s existing neck guard). It has no impact on the effectiveness or usage of your other equipment.

You may exchange or return your Q-Collar at no charge for the right size within thirty (30) days of receipt. Return shipping and handling are included.
