This technology reduces stress on the patient and increases accuracy of the product. The patient will be scanned and the shape will be modified using Tracer software then fabricated by the appropriately accredited facility. The combination of these technologies has proven to increase quality and consistency of our products.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you require a helmet please do the following.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Contact our Orthotics &amp; Prosthetics Clinic (210)567-5346, press option 3 to speak with a representative..<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Provide Patient\/Parent information; such as patient\/parent names, telephone number(s), email address(es)<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Provide funding information; such as the name of your insurance company, name of policy holder, insurance policy number, etc.\u00a0<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once we receive your information, our office will file the necessary paperwork with your insurance carrier and work with them to establish benefits &#8212; if they are available.
