Bodhi
A Treatment Journey for Skull Growth
When Bodhi was born, his parents knew something was different. After a diagnosis of craniosynostosis (where the skull growth plates close prematurely) confirmed their intuition, his family embarked on a treatment journey. Over time, treatment included surgery at University of Iowa Health Care and specialized helmet therapy to help guide his skull growth.
He was the first patient in Iowa to receive a 3D-printed cranial helmet through Limb Lab.
Following surgery, he wore a series of lightweight, custom-designed helmets that worked alongside his natural growth to help achieve the desired head shape. The advanced design offered comfort, breathability, and a seamless fit into daily life.
Continued Advancement in Orthotic Care
Bodhi’s care highlights the important role custom orthotic care can play in craniosynostosis outcomes. Limb Lab is grateful to have supported Bodhi’s development and to work with the craniofacial team at University of Iowa Health Care to help children across the state.
