Answer 1

Atlas Collars are meant primarily for neck immobilization. The "hole" you describe is simply an added feature... sort of a "secondary" function.

The "hole in the neck" area you mention is meant for access to a patient for emergency tracheotomy. I believe they used this collar and placed an emergency tracheotomy on Jason Priestly, of Beverly Hills 90210 fame, following his Indy Car wreck.

"Large trachea opening for quick access to carotid pulse monitoring and emergency tracheotomies." -quoted from the "Philidelphia Atlas Collar" product description.

Hope that answers your question.
