My question was:
I have received a prescription for a california hip abduction orthosis
for a young child with an unstable hip joint. The script specifies this as
being a product from Camp. Camp customer service has never heard of it and
neither have I. Can anyone fill me in on the nature and source of this
orthosis?
Responses follow:

Ted, try Orthomerica. I think it is theirs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a wild guess, but we'll often use the hip abduction orthosis
from Rhino for children. This orthosis was originally developed by an
Orthopaedic group in San Diego, so maybe that's a possible connection?
If you'd like more information along these lines, please let me know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, Ted, that's an Orthomerica product. California is a tradename of
theirs, I believe, for all their Newport hip abduction orthoses, both the
III and IV.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the Pediatric Hip Abduction Splint from Orthomerica is what you
are looking for. I have heard doctors calling them California hip
abductions. Hope this helps.

maybe..Orthomerica..?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can u check Orthoamerica?

End of responses.
Orthomerica does have a spinal orthosis line called California but it
does not apply to their pediatric hip abduction orthosis. I think my
physician is confused. Thank you to all who responded.
