CRANIAL REMOLDING ORTHOSIS

CRANIAL REMOLDING ORTHOSIS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The STAR family of cranial remolding orthoses is designed to treat various head shape deformities in infants aged 3-18 months, including deformational plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly. The STARband was the first FDA-cleared cranial orthosis available in the U.S. in 2000, followed by the STARlight and Clarren Helmet.
Specifications: These orthoses are fabricated from a positive modified cast, unmodified cast, or a scan using the STARscanner. The fabrication turnaround time is 5 days. The designs provide total contact over prominent skull areas and leave voids over flattened areas to encourage symmetrical growth.
Procedures: The STARscanner laser data acquisition system allows practitioners to document and compare head shape data efficiently, replacing traditional casting. Scans take 2.5 seconds, and treatment progress is documented for various stakeholders.
Treatment Duration: Treatment typically lasts 3-4 months, varying with the infant's age and cranial asymmetry severity.
Consultation: Clinical consultation is available through ABC certified orthotists.
Contact Information: For more information, contact Orthomerica at 877.737.8444 or email [email protected]. The authorized representative in Europe is Emergo Europe, located in The Hague, Netherlands.

CRANIAL REMOLDING ORTHOSIS-1

C R A N I A L R E M O L D I N G O RT H O S I S The STAR family of cranial remolding orthoses are used to treat deformational plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, scaphocephaly and other head shape deformities in infants 3-18 months of age. Thousands of infants have been successfully treated with the STARband, which was the first cranial orthosis available to O&P practitioners across the United States with FDA clearance in 2000. Orthomerica later applied for and received FDA clearance for the STARlight and Clarren Helmet. These orthoses can be used to effectively manage a broad spectrum of head shape deformities and clinical indications. The Clarren Helmet was designed by Sterling Clarren, MD, and has been used successfully for 23 years. Dr. Clarren developed the first cranial remolding orthosis and treatment protocols for orthotic care, and published the results in 1979. STARscanner™ I The STARscanner* laser data acquisition system, from I Orthomerica, allows O & P I practitioners to document and compare infant head shape data before, during, and after orthotic I treatment of positional plagiocephaly. Scans replace the traditional casting process and take only 2.5 I seconds. Treatment progress can be evaluated and documented with printed reports for referring physicians, research studies, insurance companies, and caregivers. I Orthomerica’s cranial remolding orthoses can be fabricated from a positive modified cast, unmodified cast, or a scan of the infant’s head using the STARscanner. Turnaround time for fabrication is 5 days. The STARband, STARlight and Clarren Helmet designs provide total contact over the prominent areas of the skull and leave voids over the flattened areas to provide a pathway for more symmetrical skull growth. The STARlight Bi-Valved design is effective for treating scaphocephaly and other head shape deformities. Treatment generally takes 3 - 4 months, but varies depending on the infant’s age and severity of cranial asymmetry. Clinical consultation is available through our staff of ABC certified orthotists.
