The kinderBAND™ cranial remolding helmet is a custom made orthosis available by prescription only. It is used to treat infants between 3 and 18 months of age for asymmetrical head shapes such as positional plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and scaphocephaly.

It is made out of hypoallergenic foam and plastic that are all manufactured in accordance with GMP regulations as defined by Part 21 of the “Code of Federal Regulations”. The kinderBAND™ is 510k cleared by the FDA.

We designed the kinderBAND™ by combining the most advanced technology with over 80 years of clinical expertise. We developed a scanning system that is very comfortable, fast, safe and accurate. As a result, the kinderBAND™ is the most symmetrical design available today.

WHAT WE DO

• We use the BioScanner™ so your baby sits comfortably on your lap.
• We use a special scanning hood that does not cover your baby’s eyes, nose or mouth.
• We shield your baby’s eyes during scanning.
• We let you hold your baby during scanning.
• We take 15 – 30 seconds to scan your baby.
• We use the BioScanner™ system, the most advanced technology in the field of Orthotics.
• We refer to the CDC growth charts to ensure the most anatomically correct design and symmetry for each baby.
• We utilize a team of: cranial surgeons, cranial specialists, 510k process engineers, reporting engineers.

WHAT WE DON’T DO

• We do not constrain your baby during scanning by holding their arms.
• We do not cover their eyes, nose and mouth with the scanning hood.
• We do not separate you from your baby during scanning.

Because infants experience rapid growth of the skull between 3 and 18 months, it is possible to remold an asymmetrical head into a more symmetrical shape. We achieve this symmetrical remolding by having the kinderBAND™ contact the head on the prominent areas, and creating space in the helmet for growth where the head is asymmetric. As the infant grows, the kinderBAND™ is customized to the developing skull on a 2-3 week interval by removing the interior foam lining. This encourages growth into the concavity formed in the helmet, thus achieving the desired skull and facial symmetry over time.

This is achieved through the following process:

Step 1    Scan the asymmetrical head

Step 2    Provide key measurements

Step 3    Provide key patient history

Step 4    Fit symmetrical* designed kinderBAND™

Step 5    Modify kinderBAND™ every 2-3 weeks during treatment

Cranial remolding orthoses have been successfully fit when used under the prescription of a pediatrician, pediatric neurosurgeon, pediatric plastic surgeon or craniofacial surgeon. This method has been used since 1979 when Dr. Sterling Clarren reported on the use of cranial orthoses to treat plagiocephaly.

*Ideal symmetry is achieved between ages 3 – 9 months.

The development of the kinderBAND™ was a joint venture between BioSculptor and Arthur Finnieston Prosthetics + Orthotics. This partnership combines over 20 years of CAD/CAM experience with 80 years of clinical expertise, resulting in one of the best cranial helmets on the market today. The kinderBAND™ has the most symmetrical design available, as it utilizes an advanced scanning system, proprietary manufacturing methods, pediatric cranial experts and the CDC growth charts.

Both BioSculptor and Arthur Finnieston P+O are family owned businesses. Our team of professionals have spent more than 20 years working together to invent the most innovative and advanced clinical solutions. We believe the longevity of our employees speaks to our values and commitment to excellence.

Our mission is to put quality and integrity first to best serve the patient.

NOTE — Colors are brighter on actual helmets. Due to heat and plastic, transfer patterns may appear slightly different on each helmet.
