Re: New to the board and thank you to all!/Starlight Cap?

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I'm glad you found chat helpful. We are here to help and support

each other, so please post or stop in for the Monday night chats

whenever you have a concern!

Hanger has it's own brand of band, called the Hanger Cranial Band,

which resembles a Starband. In addition to the Hanger Cranial Band,

some Hanger facilities may offer products manufactured and designed

by another company, Orthomerica, which you may have heard of

before. Orthomerica is the maker of the Starband, and the

Starlight as well: -

Do you think this is the brand of helmet Hanger will be using?

Let us know how the casting goes next week!

Hi & welcome:

We had a member use the STARlight cap, I believe she has some photos

in both the Our Plagio Babies section under " Kristarella " and maybe

int he Before & After Photos section if you'd like to check those out.

Good luck w/the casting next week.

Thank you all so much for your support!

Christie, I checked out that link and it does look like what the

orthotist is describing. I will verify with him next week that this

is the one he was talking about.

Debbie, thank you for the info! I will definitely check out the

photos.

Thanks again and I will let you know how the casting goes!
