Kylen has always loved baseball, but he was having trouble finding a batting helmet that fit him properly. His mother Nicole eventually contacted our Orthotics, Prosthetics and Seating Department and talked to provider Nick Anderson. After getting Kylen’s head measurements, Anderson was able to custom modify a Rawlings baseball helmet with carbon 3D printed foam padding. It now fits Kylen like a glove! The North Dakota resident can’t wait to hit the baseball diamond!

That's such a wonderful story! Huge kudos to Nick Anderson and the Orthotics, Prosthetics, and Seating Department for going above and beyond to help Kylen find the perfect fit. It's incredible how custom solutions like the 3D-printed foam padding can make such a difference. Best of luck to Kylen on the baseball diamond! ⚾👏
