Health Centre Making Car Seat for Conjoined Twins Born in Vancouver
Posted on: Tuesday, 21 November 2006, 18:01 CST
VANCOUVER (CP) - A facility that makes devices for disabled children is developing a car seat for conjoined twins fused at the head.
So far the car seat - or car bed - is a piece of foam made from a plastic cast of Tatiana and Krista Hogan. Dave Cooper, a rehab technologist at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, says there will be some technical problems in coming up with a final product.
That's because the one-month-old girls are growing so fast.
They grew about half an inch in the last week.
Cooper says the car seat will have to be continually adapted as the girls grow.
The health centre has consulted facilities in the United States and Ontario to design the unique car seat.
