What is a Medical Wig?

A medical wig also known as a cranial prosthesis is a custom-made medical wig designed for individuals who have lost their hair due to medical conditions such as alopecia, chemotherapy, lupus, trichotillomania, or severe burns.

Unlike regular wigs, cranial prosthesis is made with high-quality materials to mimic natural hair and are designed for long-term, comfortable wear. They provide a more healthier option and natural look while also ensuring a secure fit, especially for individuals with sensitive scalps due to medical treatments, scalp conditions, etc.

These prostheses are often prescribed by doctors and can be covered by health insurance under durable medical equipment (DME) benefits. SLS has created a very detailed and seamless process to assist you with the insurance reimbursement process.
