The Q-Collar is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive, device intended to be worn around the neck of athletes aged 13 years and older during sports activities to aid in the protection of the brain from effects associated with repetitive sub-concussive head impacts.
When the head absorbs a hit, the brain bounces back and forth against the inside of the skull. This rapid acceleration and deceleration of the brain (also called brain slosh) stretches and tears brain fibers resulting in traumatic brain injury.
Helmets can reduce serious injuries to the skull by preventing direct contact and spreading the force of the impact over a greater surface area. However, helmets cannot protect inside the skull and limit brain movement.
The Q-Collar helps stabilize the brain by applying light pressure to the jugular veins. This pressure slightly increases blood volume inside the skull and helps reduce the brain's movement, which is the primary cause of brain injuries.

Use a soft measuring tape to measure the middle of the wearer's neck. Make sure the tape is snug with zero slack between the tape and neck. Measure three times and use the smallest measurement. If a soft measuring tape is not available, use a shoelace or string.
With each purchase, you receive a box
containing the Q-Collar, a travel case,
owner's guide, and a fit check tool
