Frequently Asked Questions About the Q-Collar, Sizing & Bulk Orders

Accurate measurement is important to selecting the right size Q-Collar for you. Start by using a soft measuring tape to measure the middle of the neck. Make sure it is snug with zero slack between the tape and neck. Measure three times and use the smallest measurement. If you do not have access to a soft measuring tape, consider using a shoelace or string, then holding it against a ruler.

The Q-Collar is designed to apply a specific amount of pressure at the right locations on the sides of the neck. Having the correct size Q-Collar helps ensure the Q-Collar will provide the additional brain protection that you deserve with a comfortable fit.

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. The Q-Collar does not reduce blood circulation or blood flow through the carotid arteries.

The Q-Collar is designed for any sport or activity where an athlete 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!

Visit our Instagram to see the athletes helping protect themselves with the Q-Collar in action.

Usage of the Q-Collar is permitted by numerous sports leagues or organizations, including: 

The National Football League, Major League Soccer, National Women’s Soccer League, National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, NCAA, USA Lacrosse, National Federation of High Schools (all sports except wrestling), Canadian Football League, Pop Warner, International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation, in addition to other youth and club sports organizations throughout the country.

The US FDA and Health Canada have authorized the Q-Collar for use by all athletes ages 13 and over.

The Q-Collar is not likely to interfere with existing equipment. The Q-Collar can and should be worn with other protective equipment. It sits comfortably below any helmets, 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.

There is no evidence that athletes wearing the Q-Collar take additional risks or play more aggressively versus those who do not wear it. During clinical trials, more than 500,000 total impacts were recorded and analyzed. The data collected during the clinical trials indicate that the number and magnitude of impacts were comparable between athletes who were wearing the Q-Collar and those who were not.

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 including Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, NorthShore University Health, Boston Children’s Hospital, West Virginia University and the University of Cincinnati.

This extensive body of research led to FDA clearance in , validating that the Q-Collar is both safe and effective. In fact, The Q-Collar was proven to reduce the likelihood of brain damage from contact sports by 66% over a season of play.

In addition to offering protection from injuries caused by head impacts, the Q-Collar is currently being studied for its potential to help soldiers be better protected from brain injuries caused by blast waves as well as for additional medical uses, such as aiding with POTS symptoms.

"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.”

While plans may differ, because the Q-Collar is an over-the-counter(OTC) Class II Medical Device, the purchase of your Q-Collar is eligible for payment from either your flexible spending account (FSA*) and health savings account (HSA**).  For convenience, you should use your FSA or HSA card.  However, your account administrator may request a copy of your receipt. If you do not have an FSA or HSA card, you can use your regular credit or debit card and submit the receipt to your account administrator for reimbursement from your FSA or HSA.

*An FSA is an employer offered benefit that lets you set aside pre-tax income so you can save money on qualified health purchases including OTC products, prescriptions, vision health essentials, and much more. 

**An HSA is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to taxpayers in the United States who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan.  

If your Fit Check tool indicates you have the incorrect size, you may exchange your Q-Collar at no charge for the right size within thirty (30) days of receipt. Return shipping and handling are included. Please contact  to initiate your exchange. 

Sharing a photo of the wearer of the Q-Collar along with the fit check tool for our team to assess the fit will help expedite the process.
