About Q30 Sports Science, LLC
Q30 Sports Science manufactures the Q-Collar, an FDA-cleared medical device designed to reduce brain movement during repetitive head impacts in contact sports. The Q-Collar applies controlled light pressure to the neck, causing partial occlusion of jugular veins and increasing blood volume in the head, which helps stabilize the brain during impacts—similar to a seatbelt function. The company markets the device to athletes aged 13 and older across football, lacrosse, soccer, hockey, skiing, snowboarding, basketball, rugby, MMA, boxing, and other impact-prone activities. The product is supported by 25+ peer-reviewed, independent research studies from institutions including Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, NorthShore University HealthSystem, West Virginia University, and University of Toronto. Q30 reports the Q-Collar achieves a 66% reduction in the likelihood of brain damage from contact sports over a season of play. The device is FDA-cleared as a Class 2 medical device, FSA/HSA eligible, and worn by professional and NCAA athletes. The company offers free size exchanges and free shipping on orders over $35. Customer testimonials indicate the collar reduces post-impact headaches and provides athletes and parents with confidence during play.
