• 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 - 4 months, but varies depending on the patient’s age and severity of cranial asymmetry.
• Clinical consultation is available through Orthomerica’s staff of ABC certified orthotists.
• STARband literature is available for practitioners, referring physicians, patient families, and caregivers.
