US 2026/0174576 A1 · CRANIAL REMODELING ORTHOSIS MODEL

Abstract

A head model for thermoforming a cranial remodeling orthosis device to shape an infant's deformed head shape as the infant's head grows comprises a head shape surface used to define the inner surface of the cranial remodeling orthosis device. The head shape surface is derived from a three-dimensional data file representing the deformed head shape modified to a modified head shape. The head shape surface has first areas corresponding to hold areas of the cranial remodeling orthosis device where growth of the infant's head is held or restrained. The head shape surface has one or more second’ areas where the cranial remodeling orthosis device is to provide growth room for the infant's head. The one or more second areas extend radially outward from the modified head shape to provide extra growth room.
