Hello list,
I have an active 5 year old patient who just had severe abdominal surgery
in which her kidneys had to be rearranged internally and she now requires a
protective brace for her abdomen, as it would be very dangerous for her to
have impact on it. The protection needs to be from where her ribs end to
her pubis anteriorly. I have a design in mind, but I am just wondering if
any of you have any experience with something similar, and what materials
you would recommend.
My plan is to have a thermofoam lined 3/16 copo shell anteriorly with a wide
elastic strap around the back, with some purchase on her pelvis for
suspension.
Comments, suggestions, and completely different ideas are welcome!
Thank you,
Karen Boehm COC
