Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I just have a quick question...after the last adjustments on Milans cap, there is some extra velcro that hangs over when we tighten cap. This is getting caught on his crib sheets and his head gets stuck. We can't cut it off because he will need the extra length once his head grows more. Anyone else had issues with this? Not really sure what to do about it, it is quite the pain in the but - he has woken up a few times at night lately because his head is stuck to the side and he cant move it! I was thinking to put another piece of velcro on the extra tab to cover it....any ideas? Twin Cities, MN Milan 5mos CranioCap 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 That is bizarre. Another piece of velcro sounds good but really, your orthotist should fix it somehow. Why would you need extra if he grows? The closure should not open at all as he grows so it should always be the same length (I would think). As he grows, they just need to cut into the inner foam, not open up the band at all. Anyone else correct me if I'm wrong.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 My son actually had more velcro sticking out at the end of treatment than at the beginning. He started out with the velcro lining up exactly. There is now about 2 inches sticking over because as his head grew and parts were shaved out, it started slipping over his eyes and ears, so I was told to just tighten it up. His head was supposed to grow into the spaces inside the band, not out sideways where the velcro was holding it. He never got stuck on anything (your poor baby--what a funny visual!) but it does attract hair and catch on things. I would ask your ortho about it and see if you can cut it off. , 21 mos, DOC Band grad in 3 days! > I just have a quick question...after the last adjustments on Milans > cap, there is some extra velcro that hangs over when we tighten cap. > This is getting caught on his crib sheets and his head gets stuck.
