Title:
Protective Helmet NOT for Plagiocephaly
Text:
Need help locating a protective helmet for a 3yo male with severe seizure
disorder. Per Mom in excess of 30/day. When unsupervised during seizure child
flexes forward and lands face down. Has broken nose twice, several teeth and
multiple injuries,scars, contusions to forehead.
Mom has tried hockey and sports helmets but are not sized small enough for
child, nor do they adequately protect nose/ mouth.
I seem to recall a kit helmet available that could be adjusted to fit small
circumference <18. Searched all our catalogs to no avail. Small circumfence
is problem .
Hoping I don't need/have to custom fabricate. Funding is a problem. Any help
would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Ralph W. Nobbe CPO
