In the field of orthopedic devices, the cranial orthosis market comprises a specialized subset aimed at correcting or ameliorating deformities or asymmetries of the skull in infants and young children. These devices, often referred to as cranial helmets or bands, are prescribed primarily to treat conditions such as plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly, which can result from external pressures on the skull during development or as a consequence of congenital disorders. Such orthoses are designed to gently redirect skull growth by applying consistent, controlled pressure on the areas of the skull that require reshaping.
As with other orthopedic devices, advancements in the field of cranial orthoses are driven by technological innovation, including the use of 3D imaging and printing to create personalized and precise fitting devices for patients. Tailored treatment ensures better outcomes and patient comfort. The focus on pediatric care within orthopedics underscores the importance of early intervention and non-invasive treatment options to correct skeletal abnormalities at a stage when the bones are still malleable.
Several companies operating in the market include Orthomerica, Cranial Technologies, Inc., which provides the DOC Band®; Boston Brace, known for its Boston Band; and Hanger Clinic, offering the STARband™. These businesses, among others, research, develop, and market cranial orthoses, contributing to the broad spectrum of pediatric orthopedic care. Show Less Read more
