What Parents & Professionals Are Saying
“When we found out that Pablo was going to have to wear a helmet, we were a little worried, but the helmet is really easy to use, I didn't expect that.”
“For cleaning [and] the fabric to be removed and washed, it's super simple. I do it while the baby is bathing and it's done in two minutes. Likewise, to put the fabric back in place, Agathe [our practitioner] showed me how to fold and roll it, I've never had any problems.”
“The helmet was very well accepted [by Pablo], quickly."
“It went smoothly by increasing the wear time a little every day and he never fussed about anything. “
- Testimony of Camille P., mother of Pablo
Pablo has been wearing the helmet since he was 7 months old
“This helmet is much simpler to fit than the classic helmet. It is more precise and we can deliver it directly, without any alterations, which was not the case with a classic helmet.”
- Aymeric Bortot, Certified Prosthetist Orthotist for Chabloz Orthopedics
“This helmet really is easier to fit. The fact that there is no foam inside the helmet reduces the need for frequent growth-related adjustments. It’s lined with a removable washable fabric, made of synthetic fibers, which has the advantage of being absorbent, considerably limiting skin reactions. And above all, it’s less thick [than traditional cranial orthoses]. That thickness can bother some little ones during naps or at night. Over-thickness in the neck [area] can cause the neck to bend, and cause discomfort.”
- Pauline Seniow, Certified Prosthetist Orthotist for Chabloz Orthopedics
“This helmet is better tolerated and is more easily adjustable than the helmets we used before, which were thicker, difficult to adjust and heavy. [Before], to make sure that a child accepted [a traditional helmet] well, inner foam needed to be grinded or pads needed to be added which was challenging. I think, the MyCRO Band cranial orthosis is much better made thanks to 3D printing and it is more easily modified or adjustable by the CPO than the helmets we had before, which were rigid, heavy, thick. So it fulfills its mission and we can actually prescribe it more easily because it is well tolerated.”
- Doctor Jacques Griffet, MD, PhD, Professor of child surgery, specializing in orthopedics, for the past forty years
