Hi all,
I have a client who has had a section of his skull removed and previously had a surgical plate covering but it had to get removed because of infection. At the moment he has no hard protection over this area of his skull so he has turned to the P&O profession for a solution. He is not interested in a helmet, he want something that will be lower profile and can be worn under hats. We are thinking of trying something out of silicone that is reinforced over the area of the skull that is unprotected - similar to a swim cap. Just wondering if anyone has done anything like this before? Thanks,
Anne Whitney, CO(c)
