Cranial at Empowered
Your baby’s comfort and development come first. At Empowered Prosthetics and Orthotics, we provide custom cranial helmets designed to gently guide your baby’s head shape as they grow. Our team ensures a comfortable fit and compassionate care for both infants and families.
A cranial remolding band, often called a cranial helmet, is a lightweight custom-made band medical device worn by infants to help correct flat spots or uneven head shapes. By applying gentle, consistent pressure, the cranial helmet works gradually to guide a baby’s head to grow in a more balanced shape.
