History
2023: Start of orthopedic helmets to treat cranial deformities in children
At the National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Traumatology and Orthopedics named after G.I. Turner, located in the city of Pushkin (not far from St. Petersburg), launched the production of orthoses for children. The press service of the research center announced this at the end of July 2023.
Orthopedic helmets, or cranial orthoses, are used to treat skull deformities in children under two years of age. The device provides growth of the skull in the direction where changes in its shape have occurred. As a rule, the treatment period is from three months to six months.
Specialists also intend to use orthopedic helmets after operations to treat congenital malformations of the skull. In addition, they can be used to protect the head after operations on the skull arch and brain, especially in the presence of a bone defect. Clinical experience shows that using an orthosis improves the cosmetic effect of surgery.
According to the developers, unlike plastic helmets made of low-pressure polyethylene, 3D helmets manufactured at the G.I. Turner National Medical Research Center are made of polyamide - they are lighter, stronger, more aesthetic and more convenient for the patient thanks to the cellular structure of the material, which allows you not to sweat the baby's head. To obtain the most accurate individual 3D model of the helmet in the National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Traumatology and Orthopedics named after G.I. Turner of the Ministry of Health of Russia, a modern digital scanner is used, which allows you to scan babies without using rigid fixation and without harmful radiation. Then specialists in a computer program for modeling receive a 3D model of the child's skull, and an orthopedic helmet is designed using this up to a millimeter of verified 3D model. Printing is carried out using modern additive technologies - by the sls method.[1]
