Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Our helmet is through Cranial Solutions out of NJ. I called and talked to the ortho again about it today and was told to only use the alcohol weekly so the foam doesn't dry out. The foam is not supposed to absorb the soap or anything, of course I've rinsed it very well. Maybe they use a different kind of foam than the DOC or Starband? But..so far things are still going good! > > > > > > Connor got his helmet yesterday. We were told he should wear it > > for 21 > > > hours a day, with 3 one hour breaks during the day.
