Device Description

The STARband® is a patient specific cranial orthosis that redirects the head growth to improve proportion and symmetry. It is intended for use on infants from 3 to 18 months of age, with moderate-to-severe non-synostotic positional head shape deformities, 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. This device is also indicated for adjunctive use for infants from 3 to 18 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. The STARband® is made with an outer copolymer plastic shell and an inner liner made of pelite polyethylene foam or Aliplast foam (closed cell polyethylene). It utilizes a side opening design and is held in place by a Velcro® strap across the side opening.

GMDN Terms

Code	Name	Definition	Implantable	Status
62265	Cranial orthosis	A custom-made helmet-like device intended to be worn on the head of an infant with an abnormal head shape (e.g., due to plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, scaphocephaly), or after craniosynostosis repair surgery, to apply pressure to the cranium and improve cranial symmetry/shape during growth over a period of months. It is made of durable materials (e.g., plastic, solid foam) and is designed with patient-specific characteristics (e.g., size, shape) based on head measurements (e.g., clinical pictures, 3-D scans, casts). It is typically worn during daily activities and sleep. This is a single-patient device that can be reapplied during the treatment period (reusable) before being discarded.	No	Active
