Benefits of STARband Cranial Remolding Orthosis

• 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 to 4 months but varies depending on the patient’s age and severity of cranial asymmetry
• Clinical consultation is available through the Prosthetic & Orthotic Group staff of ABC-certified orthotists
• STARband literature is available upon request
