because this neck collar is specially made for people with trachieostomies and laryngectomies the hole is made into the neck at the base of the of the trachiea to enable the patient to breathe so the paramedics place the special neckcollar arround the opening so that they can see the trachieostoma..in a laryngectomy the trachieostoma is permenent because the larynx has been removed and the neckcollar is placed arround the neck so that the paramedics can see the hole when theres a emergency taking to the hospital
