Featured Technology: Surestep Sprout3D™ Cranial Remolding Orthosis
Cranial remolding orthoses play a critical role in the treatment of conditions such as plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. 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 clinical expertise, and extensive 3D fabrication resources to ensure the best possible patient outcomes while streamlining clinician workflows. 3D printing allows for a precise fit, maximizing comfort and minimizing the risk of helmet rotation that can lead to discomfort, after hours calls, and additional appointments. A superior out of box experience with minimal in clinic modifications allows for more time with families during fitting appointments, and quick fabrication time means it will be in your hands and on patients head quickly.
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.
Individualize Care
Sprout3D is the only CRO with unique trim lines specifically designed for plagiocephaly and brachycephaly.
Clinical Study Reviews Effectiveness of Sprout3D
A recent outcomes study from the Hanger Institute for Clinical Research and Education found that babies treated with Sprout3D experienced greater improvement in head shape symmetry compared to those treated with traditional helmets.
- On average, babies using Sprout 3D saw about 10% more correction in asymmetry when researchers accounted for factors like how severe the flattening was at the start, the baby’s age, and how long treatment lasted.
- CRO selection should remain individualized, considering patient presentation, growth patterns, and caregiver factors alongside fabrication method.
Our priority is fabricating quality products that provide life-changing outcomes, and this device will provide clinicians with more options to meet individual patient needs and preferences.
