Why They
Collar Up
"I play both lacrosse and hockey, and I want to be able to play as long as possible without injury. I feel like the Q-Collar gives me an extra level of protection."
"Wearing the Q-Collar this past season helped me feel protected and clear-headed on the ice, and not feel the sting I usually feel after tough hits."
"We did our research to find more protection for our nephew and stumbled upon the Q-Collar. We wanted to give him more protection. It fits very nicely under his neck guard and he does not even notice it. Excellent product."

FAQ
How does the Q-Collar work?
The Q-Collar is a simple and safe device that applies light pressure to the jugular veins. This pressure causes 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.
Does the Q-Collar come in other colors?
The Q-Collar itself comes in one color. For additional color options, there are 13 different Q-Collar Sleeve colors that can help you match your uniform. Custom Team Sleeves are available for bulk orders.
Has the Q-Collar been researched?
Yes! The Q-Collar was the subject of 28 independent pre-clinical and clinical studies over 10 years performed by leading research institutions in the US and Canada. This extensive body of research led to FDA clearance in 2021, validating that the Q-Collar is both safe and effective with no impact on athletic performance.
