Abstract
In this series the Aspen cervical collar and Johnson CTO were used successfully as non-Grillo alternatives to postoperative neck stabilization in pediatric tracheal resections. Modifications to both devices are proposed to minimize cutaneous injuries and increase immobilization of the cervical spine in the desired flexed position. Although these devices appear to be safe and may be better tolerated, further innovation is needed to improve the design and fit of these devices.
