Patent ID: 7566313

Claim:
A cranial remodeling orthosis headgear for use by an infant comprising: a first member comprising a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface, wherein the first member is comprised of an arcuate member having an outer circumference of less than 360 degrees, wherein the concave inner surface spans the entire arcuate member, and wherein the first member is shaped to only partially encircle the infant's cranium so as to cover at least a portion of the back of the infant's cranium including a portion of the occipital bone but to leave the frontal bone substantially uncovered; a convex protrusion attached to the convex outer surface of the first member, wherein the convex protrusion covers only a portion of the convex outer surface and is positioned so that when the headgear is worn by the infant and the infant is lying on a surface, the protrusion encourages the infant's head to lie on a portion of the cranium other than the part of the cranium underlying the protrusion; and a second member for positioning the first member on the infant's head, wherein the second member comprises a cloth cap.
