Transforming Patient Care: Case Study of 3D Printed Cranial Remolding Orthosis (CRO)

When Milo’s mom, Olivia, first raised concerns about her 7-month-old’s head shape, his pediatrician referred her to a local orthotist for a cranial remolding orthosis. After hearing about traditional and 3D printed options, Olivia felt confident in choosing Surestep’s new Sprout3D^TM helmet due to its lightweight structure, single-sided hinge opening (making it easier for busy parents to open with only one hand), the perforated foam for better ventilation, and a plagiocephaly-specific trim line.

Summary

After being measured by his clinician, Milo’s helmet was fabricated with top-of-the-line 3D printing technology, allowing for a quick turnaround time and a precise fit – resulting in minimal modifications.

Milo’s helmet journey was a breeze for both Milo and mom, with Olivia saying, “When I took my son to his pediatrician, she couldn’t believe how easy it was to take the helmet on and off. The unique snap-on feature was probably the most raved about in my circle of friends and family.”

Throughout the helmet journey, Milo went through a couple growth spurts and received quick adjustments with minimal modifications – providing ease and comfort for both Milo and mom. Thanks to Sprout3D’s breathable features, Milo stayed cool despite his hot nature, and Olivia was able to easily clean the helmet.

Results

With his measurements moving from moderate severity to the normal range, Milo successfully “graduated” with flying colors after only two short months! Olivia states, “I would recommend Sprout3D to anyone who is considering a helmet for their child. I truly could not have asked for a better experience for my son.”
