A cranial orthosis is a custom-fitted helmet designed for infants with irregular head shapes, such as plagiocephaly or brachycephaly, or those recovering from craniosynostosis surgery. It gently reshapes the skull over time by applying controlled pressure during daily wear and sleep, promoting symmetrical growth as the child develops.
These devices are typically regulated as single-patient, reusable medical devices tailored to individual measurements (e.g., scans or casts). They are supplied as patient-specific solutions, often requiring professional fitting and adjustments during treatment to ensure proper function and comfort.
