How to use it
Set-up, use and care
- 1
Follow the wear schedule your orthotist gives you — it builds up by an hour at a time to 23 hours a day, with one hour off for bath time.
- 2
Take the helmet off for the off hour, wash the head and check for redness that does not fade within an hour.
- 3
Wipe the inside of the shell daily and let it air dry completely before it goes back on.
- 4
Keep every follow-up appointment so we can check the fit and growth as treatment moves along.
Description
A cranial remolding orthosis made by 3D printing the infant's own scan into a rigid, ventilated shell. The single side hinge and latch let a parent put the helmet on or take it off with one hand, and the shell is built with distinct trim lines — one shaped for plagiocephaly, one for brachycephaly, plus a standard opening — so the opening is matched to the shape being treated. Because the fit is precise, the helmet sits still on the head and usually needs only small adjustments at follow-up visits.
