Plastic Palates Aid Babies With Cleft Palate
Capt. I F Schapiro of Winter General Army Hospital unveiled a plastic palate for babies born with cleft palates. Made from an acrylic derivative, it helps infants bottle feed and later solid food, not a permanent correction, until about age one when full treatment can proceed. The device has helped two army wives’ infants, preventing health compromise during feeding.
