What is it indicated for?
The STARband is intended for medical purposes for use on infants from three to
18 months of age, with moderate to severe non-synostotic positional plagiocephaly,
including infants with plagiocephalic-, brachycephalic- and scaphocephalic-shaped heads
by applying mild pressure to prominent regions of the infant's cranium in order to
improve cranial symmetry and/or shape. The device is also indicated for adjunctive use
for infants from three to eighteen months of age whose synostosis has been surgically
corrected, but who still have moderate to severe cranial deformities including
plagiocephalic-, brachycephalic-, and scaphocephalic-shaped heads.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
