Cranial Reshaping Orthosis / Helmets
By Danmar Products
Two styles of cranial reshaping orthoses or what some call "Baby Helmets” are manufactured by Danmar Products, which address one common medical condition known as "Flat Head Syndrome." The cranial orthosis is a prescriptive device, not a protective device like a helmet.
Danmar's cranial orthosis is the Michigan Cranial Reshaping Orthosis (MCRO). Clinically proven and FDA cleared, this involves making an orthosis from a cast or a digital scan of the child's cranial surface. Watch the short video above featuring our helmets, which were developed initially in partnership with The University of Michigan.
The MCRO is used to treat infants and babies diagnosed with Plagiocephalic and Brachycephalic shaped heads. The medical professional that evaluates your child will be able to select which style will the most beneficial and best fit for your infant, based upon the degree of Positional Head Deformity (PHD).
