Re: Hanger Helmet/ in Farmingdale

January 28, 2005

Hi ,

The last time I spoke with the gentleman at Farmingdale to help with

information in our Helmet/Band Database, he confirmed that they

offer the NICband at that location. I don't recall his name, but I

got the impression he was in charge there. This was a while ago.

The NICband is a Starband that the ortho there calls a NICband.

It's an FDA approved, active band. Have you been to the NICband

website? It's a nice website. Here's the link:

The Hanger company sometimes offers their own Hanger Cranial Band at

their facilities, or the ortho may choose to order a Starband

(called a NICband at that Farmingdale location.) Things change,

though, so do let us know if you find out that your baby's band is

indeed a Hanger Cranial Band instead of the NICband. That will help

keep our database accurate!

I hope things are settling in for your baby and the band. This is a

very supportive and informed group, so continue to post any

questions or concerns. Happy rounding!

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)
