A device for correcting the shape of an infant's abnormally-shaped cranium by applying external forces over time with the growth of an infant to achieve normal shaping of the infant's head. The device applies inwardly-directed external forces only to areas of bony prominence and minimizes (or altogether eliminates) these forces on the areas of the skull that are less prominent (or flattened). Because the present invention is non-conforming to the shape of an abnormal skull, the exerted forces cause accelerated expansion of the skull in less prominent (flattened) areas coincident with brain and skull growth. This causes the cranium to return to a normal symmetric cranial shape. The material that contacts the infant's cranium is semi-rigid, relatively non-flexible, and maintains its overall shape under stress.
L'invention concerne un dispositif destiné à corriger la forme anormale du crâne d'un nourrisson par l'application de forces externes au fil du temps, pendant la croissance de l'enfant, de sorte que celui-ci retrouve une forme de tête normale. Ce dispositif applique des forces externes dirigées vers l'intérieur, seulement sur des zones de proéminence osseuse, et réduit au minimum (ou élimine complètement) ces forces sur les zones du crâne moins proéminentes (ou aplaties). Comme le dispositif selon l'invention ne se conforme pas à la forme d'un crâne présentant une malformation, les forces exercées entraînent l'expansion accélérée du crâne dans les zones moins proéminentes (aplaties) qui correspondent à la croissance cérébrale et crânienne, ce qui permet au crâne de retrouver une forme symétrique normale. Le matériau qui vient en contact avec le crâne du nourrisson est semi-rigide, relativement non flexible et conserve sa forme générale sous contrainte.
