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.
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.
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:
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.
