Plagiocephaly Helmets

A plagiocephaly helmet, also known as a cranial remolding orthosis, is a custom-made helmet used to gently guide infant skull growth and improve head shape symmetry.

Who can benefit from Plagiocephaly Helmets?

  • Infants with a flat spot on one side or the back of the head
  • Babies with preferred head positioning
  • Infants with limited neck mobility such as torticollis
  • Premature infants or infants with soft skull bones

How it works

The helmet provides space in flattened areas, gently guides growth in prominent areas, and promotes a more symmetrical head shape. It does not squeeze the head; it redirects natural growth.
