The STARlight® PRO is a patient specific cranial orthosis that redirects the head growth to improve proportion and symmetry. It is intended for adjunctive use for infants from 3 to 18 months of age whose synostosis has been surgically corrected, but who still have moderate-to-severe cranial deformities including plagiocephalic-, brachycephalic- and scaphocephalic-shaped heads. The STARlight® PRO is made of clear Surlyn plastic or clear co-polyester plastic and may contain optional Aliplast foam (closed cell polyethylene) padding and/or Reston (polyurethane) foam. It utilizes two side openings and is held in place by a Velcro® straps across the side openings.
A custom-made helmet-like device intended to be worn on the head of an infant with an abnormal head shape (e.g., due to plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, scaphocephaly), or after craniosynostosis repair surgery, to apply pressure to the cranium and improve cranial symmetry/shape during growth over a period of months. It is made of durable materials (e.g., plastic, solid foam) and is designed with patient-specific characteristics (e.g., size, shape) based on head measurements (e.g., clinical pictures, 3-D scans, casts). It is typically worn during daily activities and sleep. This is a single-patient device that can be reapplied during the treatment period (reusable) before being discarded.
