MyCRO Band

Shaped with Care

The Ottobock MyCRO Band is a temporary orthosis to aid in the correction of head shape caused by positioning. The orthosis uses contact and growth zones to guide the growth of the head.
The contact zones define gentle limits for growth, while the growth zones leave space in areas required for forming the natural head shape.
MySize Closure System allows for adjustability as the child grows. The orthosis is made based on a scan, 3D-printed with thermoplastic material and contains a soft, washable lining on the interior.

User Experience

It’s just that easy

This helmet is really easier to fit. What is interesting and practical is its dynamic closure, which allows variations in cranial remodeling and cranial perimeter growth. The fact that there is no foam inside the helmet reduces the need for frequent adjustments.

 

Pauline Seniow, Cranial Orthotist

The 3D printed helmet is very well suited, very light, very flexible. This helmet has very few drawbacks, it is very well supported by children and accepted by parents.

When we found out that our child was going to have to wear a helmet, we were a little worried, but the helmet is really easy to use. I didn’t expect that.

Getting him fitted was a breeze!

Harrison was a breech baby. Because of his positioning in the womb there is some flattening on the back of his head and on the side. It was concerning. So, we said lets got to the helmet council and see what they tell us and we quickly learned that the helmet was the only way to go. Getting him fitted for it, was a breeze. It is this new technology, it’s 3D-printed. It’s pretty convenient.

Functionality

How MyCRO Band works

MyCRO Band uses contact and growth zones to guide the growth of the head. The contact zones define gentle limits for growth, while the growth zones leave space in areas required for forming the natural head shape. The MySize Closure System™ allows for adjustability as the child grows.
