A tracheostomy collar is used to deliver humidified oxygen or air to a patient with a tracheostomy, a surgical opening in the neck that provides an airway. It helps maintain the moisture of the trachea and surrounding tissues, which is essential for preventing irritation and promoting healing. Additionally, the collar secures the tracheostomy tube in place, ensuring it remains properly positioned.
