Introduction

Welcome to Foley James D MD, where we offer the innovative CranioCap® Orthosis as a non-invasive treatment option for infants with craniofacial conditions. Our goal is to provide detailed information regarding the benefits, usage, and outcomes of our orthotic device.

Understanding Craniofacial Conditions

Craniofacial conditions refer to abnormalities or malformations of the skull and face that occur during fetal development. These conditions can affect the structure, appearance, and functionality of the head and face. Proper treatment is crucial to address the associated risks and potential complications.

The Role of CranioCap® Orthosis

The CranioCap® Orthosis is a custom-fitted helmet-like device designed to gently and comfortably reshape the infant's skull during the critical growth stage. By applying gentle pressure to specific areas, the orthosis guides the growth of the skull bones, allowing for a more symmetrical and proportional shape over time.

Benefits of Using CranioCap® Orthosis

The CranioCap® Orthosis provides several benefits when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for craniofacial conditions:

  • Promotes symmetric skull growth
  • Improves head shape and facial symmetry
  • Reduces the risk of associated developmental delays
  • Enhances self-esteem and social integration
  • Minimally invasive and non-surgical treatment option

Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results. Our knowledgeable team will guide parents or caregivers on how to maintain and care for the CranioCap® Orthosis, ensuring its longevity and effectiveness.
