ORTHOMERICA PRODUCTS, INC. 762.01A STARlight® Bi-Valve

The STARlight® Bi-Valve 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 STARlight® Bi-Valve is made of clear Surlyn plastic or clear co-polyester plastic and may contain optional Aliplast foam (closed cell polyethylene) padding. It utilizes an overlapping bi-valve design with a sliding mechanism and is held in place by a Velcro® strap.
