The STARband
from Orthomerica is a custom cranial remolding orthosis used to treat
deformational plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and other head shape
deformities in infants 3-18 months of age. Orthomerica’s STARband was
the first FDA cleared cranial orthosis available to orthotists for use
in their own practices. Thousands of infants have been successfully
treated with the STARband cranial remolding orthosis since its
introduction.
- STARbands can be fabricated from a
positive modified cast, unmodified cast, or a scan of the infant’s
head using the STARscanner.
- The STARband provides total contact
over the prominent areas of the skull and leaves a void over the
flattened areas to facilitate more normal skull symmetry.
- Treatment generally takes 3 - 4
months, but varies depending on the patient’s age and severity of
cranial asymmetry.
- Clinical consultation is available
through Orthomerica’s staff of ABC certified orthotists.
- STARband literature is available for
practitioners, referring physicians, patient families, and caregivers.
