The Children's Hospital cranial helmet is intended to apply passive pressure to prominent regions of an infant's cranium in order to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape in infants from three to eighteen months of age with moderate to severe nonsynostotic positional plagiocephaly, including infants with plagiocephalic-, brachycephalic-, and scaphocephalic-shaped heads.

The Children's Hospital cranial helmet is a cranial orthosis for the treatment of deformational plagiocephaly. It is a lightweight, semi-rigid plastic helmet with a foam lining. Each helmet is assembled individually, with some areas that fit snugly to the child's head, and with other recessed areas. As the child's brain grows, the skull is slowly reshaped and rounded by growing into the recessed areas.
