Cranial Technologies

Cranial Technologies is the only company dedicated solely to researching, diagnosing and treating plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) in infants, and also treats infant ear deformities. The condition it addresses is common: nearly one in two babies experience some degree of head shape asymmetry. The company operates more than 125 clinics across the United States and Europe and has treated over 400,000 families during more than 35 years in operation.

Its flagship product is the DOC Band, the first FDA-cleared cranial orthotic for plagiocephaly. The device is a custom-designed helmet or brace that corrects infant head shape asymmetry through non-surgical intervention. Its complement, EarWell, is a system for treating infant ear deformities. Underpinning both is in-house digital surface imaging technology, used by specialised clinical teams to assess each infant and design treatments tailored to individual anatomy, with the aim of achieving results in the shortest possible time.

The company's technical work spans cranial orthotics, digital surface imaging, custom orthotic design and non-surgical medical intervention, alongside pediatric clinical research into documented outcomes. Culturally, it describes its approach as compassionate and family-centred, with specialised clinical teams focused on safe, effective treatment. It operates across the pediatric healthcare, medical devices, orthotics and prosthetics, infant healthcare and healthcare services sectors.
