The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is prescribed for use on infants between 3-18 months with moderate to severe nonsynostotic positional plagiocephaly, including infants with plagiocephalic, scaphocephalic, and brachycephalic-shaped heads, by applying pressure to prominent regions of an infant's cranium in order to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape. The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is also prescribed for use following minimally invasive surgery for infants between 3-18 months with craniosynostosis who still need moderate to severe correction of plagiocephali-shaped, brachycephalic-shaped, and/or scaphocephalic-shaped heads.

The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is prescribed for use on infants between 3-18 months with moderate to severe nonsynostotic positional plagiocephaly, including infants with plagiocephalic, scaphocephalic, and brachycephalic-shaped heads by applying pressure to prominent regions of an infant's cranium in order to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape. The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is also prescribed for use following minimally invasive surgery for infants between 3-18 months with craniosynostosis who still need moderate to severe correction of plagiocephali-shaped, brachycephalic-shaped, and/or scaphocephalic-shaped heads. The device allows for growth of the flattened areas of the infant's skull into the voids within the shell and foam lining. This combination of total contact and relief allows for significant correction of the asymmetrical head shape; thereby giving the infant's skull a more symmetrical and/or proportioned shape. The Cranial Remolding Orthosis is fabricated from a 3/16" co-polymer base plastic shell with a ½" foam interface liner. The type of material used on the foam interface liner is Pelite polvethylene foam, Plastazote, or Aliplast foam spacer fills a ½" side opening, opposite the deficit, utilizing the same material as the corresponding foam liner. The anterior inferior edge is trimmed just above the eyebrows, and the sides are trimmed above and around the ears. The posterior inferior is trimmed distally to capture the occiput. A hook and loop closure (also referred to as Velcro within the industry) is attached on the side of the deficit, bridging over the side opening, keeping the device securely in place.
