Patient-specific medical devices.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes unprovoked, recurring seizures. It is a condition that affects about 50 million people around the world according to WHO (World Health Organisation). Anyone can be affected by it but it mostly onsets in young children and this has a bad effect on their daily lives.
There are existing cranial protectors around the world, ones that you can easily purchase from the stores, but they are not designed according to the client’s specifications or special needs making It a struggle for you to get the one suitable for your needs and the size of your head.

The PDTS Medical Device Product Development Unit has specifically designed the cranial protector according to the specifications or the special needs of an epileptic learner who experiences the recurring seizures. The cranial protector is designed according to the dimensions of learner’s head. The helmet has a hard shell which is SLS 3D printed ensuring that he does not get hurt nor the helmet break during one of his seizures. This product has cut outs or holes around it making it much breathable as there’s air going through the head. This 3D printed helmet is very light, ensuring that it does not affect the learners’ daily activities.

Another interesting fact is that it can have a name printed on it, thus the chances of a child losing it are reduced. This cranial protector makes it easy for an individual to continue with their daily activities with assurance that they are protected.
