Sprout3D® Cranial Remolding Orthosis
The Surestep Sprout3D® Cranial Remolding Orthosis (CRO) is transforming cranial care with a cutting-edge 3D design that delivers precision, comfort, and efficiency.
Developed by leading cranial specialists, Sprout3D leverages over 10,000 data points, decades of expertise, and extensive 3D fabrication resources to ensure the best possible patient outcomes.
Cranial Remolding, Reimagined
National cranial specialists developed Sprout3D by combining 10,000 data points and decades of clinical experience, leading to design breakthroughs that help ensure the best possible patient outcomes.
Innovative Design
Intentionally designed for comfort and ease of use, Sprout3D features a lightweight structure and first-of-its kind hinge opening.
Clinical Efficiency
Sprout3D is fabricated in the USA with top-of-the-line 3D printing technology allowing for quick turnaround times and a precise fit requiring minimal modifications.
Individualized Care
Sprout3D is the only CRO with unique trim lines specifically designed for plagiocephaly and brachycephaly.
More Efficient Fittings
Because 3D printing creates a more precise fit the first time, you’ll get fewer after-hours calls caused by fitting issues and discomfort at home.
Plus, with our innovative hinge system, fitting appointments are faster, with minimal, easy modifications. That leaves you more time to chat with each family and answer their questions, getting them ready to use the CRO successfully at home

- Surestep cannot accept scans from tablet or cell phone-based scanners, as they do not output scans to the degree of accuracy needed for fabrication
- Contact Surestep with specific questions
- Capture with your choice of stockinette
- Ears and face must be cutout of stockinette for the scan
- Ensure accurate capture of occipital and mastoid area. If you question the accuracy of your scan, we recommend trying it again to be safe!
We offer several modification options to allow clinicians to design the Sprout3D to best treat each patient. However, the Sprout3D is a more standardized device due to the manufacturing process and rigidity of the plastic. If customization is required beyond what we offer in the ordering portal, we recommend exploring traditional thermoplastic options.
Plagio Mod Options:
- Standard – Up to 2 cm of symmetrical build, modify cranial shape to full symmetry (no less than 1 cm, no more than 2 cm)
- Growth Chart – Recommended for 8-10 month old age range (not for infants less than 6 months old), use age and starting circumference of patient, follow corresponding growth to add 4 months of age (treatment time)
- Posterior Only – Up to 2 cm of symmetrical build, utilized for Infants with no frontal involvement (or no void space desired)
Brachy Mod Options:
- Standard – Hold width of cranium and adjust posterior, modify cranial shape to full symmetry (no less than 1 cm, no more than 2 cm)
- Focus on Symmetry – Void first utilized on TDD/asymmetry, remaining void (up to 2 cm) used on CI/disproportion
- Focus on Proportion – Void utilized on CI/disproportion, TDD not accounted for
