The STARband
Since receiving 510k clearance from the FDA in 2000, more than 50,000 infants have been treated with the STARband. The STARband is the most widely used cranial remolding orthosis in the world.
How the STARband Works
The STARband cranial remolding orthosis redirects head growth to improve proportion and symmetry, and derives their name from its purpose—Symmetry Through Active Remolding. The STARband is designed to provide total contact over the prominent or bossed areas of the baby’s head to discourage additional growth there. The inside of the band is modified to provide extra space in the areas of the head that are flat or depressed.
The helmet eliminates the tendency for the infant to continue to lie on the flattened area of the skull and allows the rapidly growing skull to expand into areas unopposed by the helmet.
The baby’s rapid head growth, especially during the first year of life and the shape of the band direct growth into the areas of least resistance and create a precise pathway for growth to occur. As your baby’s head shape improves, the practitioner will make adjustments to further accommodate these improvements.
