Cranial helmets

Cranial helmets


At Protec we understand your concerns when you notice that your child has an abnormal skull shape. Whether it is plagiocephaly, a flattened side of the head, or brachycephaly, a widening of the head, our goal is to support you and your baby with effective and caring treatments. We use remedial helmets for our treatments, made with the latest 3D printing technology.

Cranial helmet therapy


The cranial helmet is designed to gently guide the growth of your baby's skull towards a more symmetrical shape. This non-invasive treatment is recommended for babies between four and seven months old, when the skull is still sufficiently malleable.

Why choose Protec?


At Protec we strive to provide more than just a treatment; We offer a care program that focuses on your baby and your family. Protec's cranial helmets are unique due to the use of the latest 3D scanning technology and offer many advantages.


Our unique service includes:

  • Unique cranial helmets: the latest 3D printing technology makes it possible to make the helmets particularly ventilated, thin and light. This offers major advantages, such as less trouble with perspiration compared to traditional helmets.
  • Easy fitting: fitting is done by 3D scanning. This is a simpler and less stressful fitting method for your baby, compared to fitting using a plaster cast.
  • Scientifically based methods: our therapies are based on the latest scientific insights and research.
  • Expert guidance: from the first appointment to the completion of the therapy, our team is ready to guide you and your child.
  • Accessible care: with locations in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam, expert help is never far away.

Based on research


Scientific studies support the success of cranial helmet therapy. For example, the study, published in the renowned medical journal "Pediatrics", shows that in babies who underwent helmet therapy, significant improvements in skull symmetry were observed, compared to children who did not receive treatment.
