Discover the Leading Cranial Remolding Orthosis for Optimal Correction Development
Learn about how Starband works and its role in treating cranial deformities in infants.
Using advanced technology and innovative design, Starband resists growth in specific areas of the skull, encouraging proper alignment and symmetry. This non-invasive approach allows for natural growth while gradually correcting the shape of the head. Starband treatment is supported by experienced clinicians who provide personalized care, monitoring progress throughout the process to ensure the best possible outcomes for each baby.
Starband treatment is guided by experienced clinicians who provide personalized care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for each baby’s cranial health.
The Starband treatment process begins with a thorough evaluation by a trained clinician. During this evaluation, precise measurements of the baby’s head are taken using advanced scanning technology like the Starscanner to create custom helmets.
Once the Starband is crafted, it is carefully fitted to the baby’s head, applying gentle resistance to specific areas to encourage proper cranial alignment. The orthosis is designed to be worn for a specific duration each day, allowing for natural cranial growth while gradually correcting head shape abnormalities.
The duration of Starband wear varies based on individual needs, typically ranging from 3 to 6 months. Your clinician will provide a personalized treatment plan for your baby’s specific condition.
Yes, Starband is FDA cleared and designed with safety as a top priority. It is non-invasive and made from materials that are gentle on your baby’s skin, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the treatment process.
Initially, your baby may take some time to adjust to wearing the Starband. However, it is designed for maximum comfort and should not cause significant discomfort. Most babies adapt quickly to wearing the orthosis.
The Starband should be worn 23 hours per day. However, it is important to follow your clinician’s guidelines regarding wearing duration and care instructions to ensure optimal results.
Your baby will require regular follow-up visits with the clinician to monitor progress, make any necessary adjustments to the Starband, and ensure the treatment is on track. The frequency of these visits will be determined by your clinician based on your baby’s progress and needs.
