"Skullguard" Helmets (ultra light-weight head protectors)


These popular, and comfortable, helmets have been designed for children and adults suffering from certain functional disorders which may make them liable to incur head injury. Those with epilepsy, head drop syndrome, poor balance, autism, head banging tendencies, hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy with spastic diplegia, spinal cord hernia and haemophilia can benefit from the protection provided.

The helmet is flexible enough to fit the contours of the head and is held in place by a chin strap which is provided with a slide buckle for length adjustment. An optional soft plastic, unlined chin cup, Type OF.648, is available, as well as various protective chin guards and alternative chin straps with different methods of closure and length adjustment.
