Healthy Development,With Expert Guidance!
We produce innovative and reliable cranial helmets that help preserve your baby’s natural head shape. We stand alongside our expert doctors treating conditions such as scaphocephaly, plagiocephaly, craniosynostosis, and other cranial deformities. Our goal is to offer the most effective solutions to support a natural and healthy head structure.

Craniosynostosis(Skull Abnormalities Requiring Surgical Treatment)
Craniosynostosis is a condition that occurs when the bones in a baby’s skull fuse prematurely. This can lead to abnormal skull development, head shape deformities, and increased intracranial pressure. Treatment for craniosynostosis typically involves surgical intervention performed by pediatric neurosurgery specialists. Surgical treatment is essential to support healthy brain development and to help the skull attain its normal shape.
Metopic Suture Synostosis (Trigonocephaly)
Premature closure of the metopic suture at the front of the baby’s skull leads to a narrowing of the forehead and results in a triangular-shaped head.
Sagittal Suture Synostosis (Scaphocephaly)
Premature closure of the sagittal suture along the midline of the baby’s skull results in a long and narrow head shape.
Lambdoid Suture Synostosis (Posterior Plagiocephaly)
Premature closure of the lambdoid suture at the back of the baby’s skull causes deformity and asymmetry in the rear part of the head.
Coronal Suture Synostosis (Anterior Plagiocephaly)
Premature closure of the coronal suture on the front side of the baby’s skull leads to asymmetry in the forehead and around the eyes.
DeformationalHead Shape Deformities
Deformational head shape deformities are conditions that typically arise due to the baby’s sleeping position or external pressure and do not require surgical intervention. The most common types are positional plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and dolichocephaly (scaphocephaly). Treatment for these conditions involves specially designed cranial shaping helmets (cranial orthoses) and physical therapy exercises. With timely intervention, the baby’s head shape can normalize in a short period.
Plagiocephaly
Flattening on one side of the back of the baby’s skull causes the head to appear asymmetrical and slanted.
Brachycephaly
Flattening on both sides of the back of the baby’s skull results in a head that appears wider and shorter than normal.
Dolichocephaly (Deformational Scaphocephaly)
When the baby’s skull is subjected to pressure from the sides, the head becomes longer and narrower than normal; this is especially common in premature babies.
NeurologicalDisorders
Neurological disorders encompass conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. These disorders may be congenital or develop later in life. Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Craniectomy is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the skull is removed to relieve intracranial pressure. Hydrocephalus occurs when there is an excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, which can increase intracranial pressure.
