Cranial helmets are used to treat pediatric patients 3-18 months old to manage asymmetrical cranial growth. These 3D-printed helmets provide a gentle push in selective areas while encouraging growth in open spaces.
We work closely with your physician to recommend a cranial or synostosis helmet. If your child does need one, we fit the helmet within 14 days of the scan.
Initial evaluation, measurements, scans, and follow-up appointments are at no cost to you. Insurance authorization may be required for the device itself. Payment plans are available.
Follow-up visits begin two weeks after fitting and delivery and recur every 2-6 weeks to check progress and adjust the fit as your child grows.
Discuss with your clinician:
Your clinician will ensure you know how to don and doff the helmet properly.
Follow the recommended wearing schedule until your baby wears the cranial helmet 23 hours per day.
Make sure you perform skin checks each time the helmet is removed.
It is a great time to bathe your baby and clean the helmet during the hour the helmet is removed. You can break this hour into smaller increments through the day.
All On/Off times should be repeated until bedtime.
