>>>The

orthotist who'll be banding Kai is with Hanger Prosthetics and dr.

Jimenez uses him to make his surgical helmets which are different,

but he also molds for the DOC band and sends it out.<<<

Just wanted to clarify for you that Hanger Orthotics does not use the

DOCBand. I know it can be confusing because a lot of the bands look

similar to one another! ;o)

For a list of centers that are licenced to use the DOCBand, please go
