Greetings Core Products was founded with the idea for a pillow that would relieve pain, align the spine, and provide comfort during sleep. These same goals have influenced our development of every product at Core. With this year’s catalog, I’m pleased to introduce line extensions on our most popular orthopedic pillows and a few noteworthy newcomers.

We have also developed a line of pillows for people using CPAP for the treatment of sleep apnea. The Core CPAP Pillow comes in two sizes and was developed by CPAP users to increase comfort and compliance. Unlike traditional pillows, the Core CPAP Pillow has a unique shape designed to minimize contact between the pillow and the CPAP user’s mask, reducing mask leakage and pressure point soreness.

Proper Sleeping Support
Supports Your Neck In Its Natural Position The unique center of this pillow is designed to cradle your head and provide the maximum support for your neck. This design helps relieve spasms, alleviate minor tensions and maintain or resume the natural cervical curve of your neck while at rest. Most people experience an increase in sleeping comfort within a couple days. Others, however, may require up to two weeks before the neck and back muscles adjust to their proper position.
Why the shaped center?
The shaped center provides maximum comfort and flexibility. When sleeping on your back, the center cradles your head to support your neck in its most natural position. As you roll from your back to one side, the pillow again properly supports your neck. The sides of the pillow are recommended for side sleeping. The neck is gently held in a comfortable position on the raised section of the pillow. As you roll to your back, the center lets your head nestle for the greatest comfort and appropriate support.

The Core Deluxe Water Pillow cradles the head in water, while firmly supporting the neck. This unique water pillow will fit any patient and works for a variety of neck care needs, from someone recovering from a recent injury to a healthy person who wants to stay that way. Unlike other water pillows, the Core Deluxe Water Pillow is the first to have a water chamber with a displacement panel. The displacement panel quiets the sound of the water. It also provides you with mild support by allowing the water to better conform to the shape of your neck.
The built-in neck lobe helps to restore and maintain your head and neck in their most natural positions. Use it with or without the water chamber to help reduce headaches and snoring. 66cm x 38cm (26in x 15in).

Available in three lobe sizes, this versatile pillow provides both comfort and support through the full range of treatment. See the fitting instructions below to ensure a proper fit.

The unique, curved neck lobe provides excellent support, placing your neck in the appropriate position for cervical correction.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE
Pillow Fitting Guide Instructions Have the individual stand up straight. Place the rounded edge of the sizing guide to the nape of the individual’s neck. Visualize a vertical line extending upward from the edge of the individual’s shoulder blades. The flat edge of the guide should land on this line. For help visualizing the line, let the remaining guides hang down against the individual’s back. If the guides rest gently against the back, you have found the correct fit. If the guides hang out away from the body, try the next smaller size. Correct Fit

CPAP Pillows
provide proper neck
support for patients with Core CPAP Pillow
NEW
The common compliance issues reported by CPAP users are pressure point soreness and mask leaks from pillow interference. The Core CPAPillow was designed by CPAP users, for CPAP users. This unique pillow has a 10cm (4in) quilted side panel which creates a distinct edge that will not collapse, allowing the mask to comfortably hang over the side of the pillow. This prevents the mask from being forced into the side of the face. The CPAP Pillow’s design makes it durable enough to support the head and neck without losing its edge, yet soft enough to sleep on all night. The pillow is comfortable for both side and stomach sleepers. In addition to CPAP users, patients required to sleep on their side for other reasons, such as oral or dental appliances, fibromyalgia and other chronic pain, or pregnancy can benefit from the Core CPAP Pillow and its unique shape. • Hypo-allergenic synthetic down fill • Fitted Pillowcase Included • 10cm (4in) Height

How many of your patients have sleep apnea? An estimated 20-30 million people have sleep apnea, many of whom are undiagnosed. Sleep apnea refers to a temporary cessation of breath during sleep. Patients with sleep apnea often report chronic headaches, drowsiness, memory lapses, and dysfunction during daily activities. Sleep apnea occurs when a patient’s airway becomes blocked during sleep by relaxed throat muscles, excess weight, a large tongue or tonsils, or a very small throat. Sleep apnea is hereditary, and has to do with the body’s physiology. There is no known cure for sleep apnea, but it is highly treatable with CPAP. If your patient is using a CPAP for sleep apnea, recommend the Core CPAP Pillow to increase comfort while using the mask and to achieve proper neck support.

The Mini CPAP Pillow is designed for those who prefer less elevation, and makes a great travel pillow for all CPAP users.

Every minute spent sleeping on a cervical support pillow should be beneficial to your patients’ health, allowing them to wake up feeling refreshed and revitalized. We make two types of foam pillows— viscoelastic (memory foam) and polyurethane—to give you as many options as possible when fitting patients for comfort and support. Viscoelastic foam, also known as memory foam, has risen in popularity recently, and it’s no wonder why. Memory Foam responds to body heat by molding to the shape of the head and neck. This foam is all about comfort and perfect for accommodating an acute injury. For a bit more versatility, try our polyurethane foam pillows. The polyurethane foam is made to be both comfortable and durable, falling within multiple, if not all stages of the Tri-Care Circle of Health. For example, you can offer almost any patient the Double Core Select (above) because of its interchangeable foam cores, which vary from mild to extrafirm support.

Lumbar Support Cushions Long days at the office, traffic jams and commutes, even most forms of entertainment—you find yourself seated for extended periods of time. As a health care professional, you know that sitting creates pressure on the spine. Extended sitting can distort the curves and compress the discs, which do most of the shock absorption and allow the spine to flex. All of this can cause pinching of the nerves in the spinal cord, which can lead to numbness, tingling and back pain. Help patients protect and maintain the proper spinal curve with our lumbar support cushions. / 15

Choosing The Right Therapy R.I.C.E. Use the R.I.C.E. treatment method for minor injuries, such as strains, sprains, joint aches, and other soft tissue injuries where swelling occurs. Always consult your health care provider regarding any treatment of injury. Rest: Rest the injured area for the first 24 – 72 hours following injury. Ice: Alternate 20 minutes of cold therapy (see above) with a 20 minute
break. Repeat this 3 - 4 times daily.
Compression: Apply mild pressure to the area with a wrap or extremity brace to reduce swelling.
Elevation: Keep the injured body part elevated, above the level of your heart, as much as possible during the first 72 hours after injury.

You’ll find our selection guide next to each of the back belts and extremity supports, making it easy for your staff to confidently choose the right support for the patient’s needs. For example, your patient has a minor, but recent ankle sprain. You recommend a cooling brace with moderate compression and stability to reduce the swelling and provide support. From looking at the chart, your staff will see that the Lightweight Ankle Support is a good option for this patient.

Helping your patients choose the right support
www. coreproducts . com
When treating an injured extremity or back, it’s important to have staff that can follow up on your treatment protocols in the waiting room by helping patients select the right brace or support for their needs. Our selection guides use the key criteria of breathability, compression, flexibility and stability to rank each of our extremity braces and back belts. These criteria are based on the stages of the inflammatory process, the body’s natural process of healing. This helps your staff choose the support most complementary to the patient’s current stage of care.
Acute Stage of Injury
In the initial stage of injury, the acute stage, the body reacts to an injury by restricting blood flow to prevent blood loss, and then very quickly (within seconds) increases blood flow to initiate the healing process. Injuries in the acute stage respond well to the R.I.C.E. treatment protocol: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Rest gives the area the opportunity to heal without further injury. Ice numbs pain and slows down the inflammatory process, which leads to less swelling and faster recovery time. Compression and elevation also aid in controlling and reducing swelling, a natural occurrence associated with the inflammatory response. The acute stage is generally considered to last the first 72 hours post injury. Products appropriate for this stage provide compression and cold therapy to control the inflammatory process and stability to prevent further injury.
Sub-Acute Stage of Injury
The second stage, described as subacute, is considered to last from 72 hours to six to eight weeks, depending on the severity of the injury. A mild muscle injury, for example, may recover in four weeks whereas a bone fracture could take eight weeks. In this stage, the inflammatory process is under control and rehabilitation is initiated. Products appropriate for this stage provide compression to control swelling and support and stability to provide early protection and support during activity.
Chronic Stage of Injury
The third, or chronic stage is past the six to eight week time frame when most injuries should be resolved. Overuse syndromes often fall into this category because the injured area has not had enough “rest” and isn’t fully healed. Products appropriate for this stage often provide warmth by constraining body heat to increase circulation and thereby facilitate healing. They also provide moderate to maximum stability or support to prevent re-injury.
Product Selection Guide
Our product selection guide uses these four terms: Breathability, Compression, Flexibility and Stability.
Breathability
3
Breathability is product’s ability to allow the passage of air and moisture through the fabric. A product with a high number will feel cooler and a product with a lower number will feel warmer when used. If the injury is chronic, retaining body heat is desired and a product with a low breathability number would be the best selection.
Compression
4
Compression is the ability of the product to provide circumferential pressure, that is pressure around the injured joint and the surrounding area. This pressure helps to control swelling and provides a reassuring feeling of joint strength. The higher the compression number, the more circumferential pressure the brace provides.
5
Flexibility
Flexibility is the quality that allows freedom of movement when using the product. Generally, as stability increases, flexibility decreases. For example, a brace or support that has a 5 for stability will only have a 1 for flexibility. Chronic injuries will require products that balance the need for flexibility with the need for stability.
Stability
4
Stability is the quality that provides additional support to weak structures. For example, ankle sprains result in some weakness to the ligaments that support the ankle. An ankle brace that has a high number for stability will enhance the weak ligament’s ability to stabilize the ankle. The higher the stability number the more support the brace or support provides.

A back support
is designed to help keep you aware of your lifting technique. That is why it is important to know and follow proper lifting techniques. How To Lift: • Begin with your feet about shoulder width apart and one foot slightly ahead of the other. • It is important to lower your body by bending your knees. Never bend from the waist or twist while lifting. Let your powerful leg muscles do the work, not your weaker back muscles. • Tighten your stomach muscles as you begin to move to an upright position. • Keep the load close to your body and your back upright. Lift smoothly and ask for help. • To place objects down, bend your knees and keep your back upright, reversing the procedures. / 25

Which belt do I need? Self Test
Invite your patients to try this quick self test to help determine whether a sacral or lumbosacral belt is right for them: 1. Overlap your hands and place them on your lower belly. 2. Lift upward and inward. If you feel an immediate relaxation in your lower back, you may need a lumbosacral belt. If no relief is felt, a sacral belt may be more suited to your needs.

Knee Supports: Common Conditions of the Knee Arthritis: Three types affect the knee (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid and post-traumatic); characterized by degeneration of cartilage causing inflammation. Recommend a support that provides warmth and mild compression.
Chondromalacia Patella (Runner’s Knee): Softening of the cartilage under the patella resulting in pain under or around the kneecap. Recommend a support that provides mild compression and a patellar cut-out for patellar stability. Ligament Injuries: Sprains or tears require support varying with the degree of injury. The more severe
the injury, the more support needed. For mild injuries, recommend a support with spiral stays; severe injuries, a support with metal hinges.
Patellar Subluxation or Dislocation: Occurs when the patella doesn’t sit or move in the correct groove. Recommend a support that provides side-to-side patellar stability.
Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee): Inflammation of the tendon that attaches the kneecap to the
shin. Recommend a support that redistributes force on the patellar tendon. 38 /

Neoprene vs. Elastic
Hinged Neoprene Knee Support
Neoprene provides support and helps retain natural body heat for increased circulation and warmth to a specific area or joint. The support and increased circulation are beneficial in helping prevent injury or re-injury and speeding up the healing process. Elastic webbing acts like muscle because it is made like muscle. Long fibers stretch and contract to conform to your body shape. At the same time, they provide constant pull – or tension – just as muscle does so that you can’t overstretch your joints. The elastic fibers in our products are made to give the controlled amount of tension needed for proper support in each specific use.
Extension stop at 0˚ provides hyperextension protection. High-quality neoprene with hinged metal stays. This open patella, 30cm (12in) slip-on support has a tapered back for comfort. Dual straps for increased compression above and below the knee. S-M-L-XL; see sizing chart (page 38).

Ankle Supports Common Conditions of the Ankle Arthritis: Any of the three types that commonly affect the ankle joint (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid and post-traumatic), are
characterized by degeneration of cartilage causing inflammation. Look for a support that provides warmth and mild compression.
Ligament Injuries: Sudden twisting of a joint or exerting extreme amounts of force can cause a ligament injury. Sprains or tears require support varying with the degree of the injury. The more severe the injury, the more support that is needed. For mild injuries, look for a support with increased flexibility. For more severe injuries, look for a support with more stability and compression. Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendon, typically occurring in the Achilles Tendon. Caused by age, lack of stretching or overuse, tendinitis can be very painful and limit mobility in the area. Look for a support that provides increased stability.

Dr. Kennedy’s Neck Deck provides gentle, comfortable extension traction to re-establish the cervical curve and help with long-term pain relief. The unique design allows patients to ease into their traction treatment in-clinic, followed by continued use at home. Patients begin by lying on or sitting against the contoured foam base for a few minutes each day. As they become more comfortable (usually within a week), patients can add short inflation sessions with the neck roll and finally add the forehead strap with greater inflation force for a longer duration. It is important to begin extension therapy with several, in-office, supervised sessions. This will ensure proper use and tolerance of the unit for continued treatment at home. Available in blue.
