HELLO, FRIEND!

Baby's head have a flat spot?

You've come to the right place!




WHAT IS PLAGIOCEPHALY?

 Baby Flat Head, or Plagiocephaly, is when a baby experiences abnormal
flattening at the back of the head. It can range from very mild flattening to
more severe cases.



Plagiocephaly includes positional plagiocephaly (one side becomes flattened) as
well as brachycephaly (both sides become flattened). The condition tends to
happen during the first few months of life when babies spend most of their time
on their backs.



Plagiocephaly is VERY common. Almost half of all infants will experience some
degree of head flattening. 





how do you treat plagiocephaly?

 In mild cases of flattening, tummy time and repositioning may be enough to
allow the head to return to a more symmetrical shape. In cases of moderate to
severe flattening, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends cranial
remolding or helmet therapy.



Helmet treatment is safe, comfortable, and effective. Typical length of
treatment is between 3 and 5 months. However, the length of time depends on the
severity of the flattening and the age of the infant.

what is P-POD?

P-POD is a cranial remolding helmet that can be fitted and assembled in your
doctor's office.

how is P-POD different?

Traditional helmet assembly requires scans and referrals to surgeons or
orthotists, weeks of waiting, then appointments for sizing.



P-POD allows for earlier treatment, which means a shorter treatment time.

 

Using proprietary foam (that is safe for sensitive skin) the P-POD molds
directly to the baby's head shape. The fitting and assembly process takes 30 min
and can be completed by your trusted pediatrician.

 

No scanning, no referrals, no waiting. Babies can begin treatment immediately.

DEVELOPED BY A SURGEON

Christopher Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAP, is Division Chief of Plastic Surgery at
Dayton Children's Hospital. 

 

After seeing as many as 40 plagiocephaly patients each week in his surgical
practice, Dr. Gordon realized the current process of treating these patients
didn't make sense. They shouldn't have to see a surgeon to just get referred
on to an orthotist.



He knew there had to be a better way.
