MyCRO Band
The Ottobock MyCRO Band is a temporary orthosis to aid in the correction of head shape caused by positioning. The orthosis uses contact and growth zones to guide the growth of the head.
The contact zones define gentle limits for growth, while the growth zones leave space in areas required for forming the natural head shape.
MySize Closure System allows for adjustability as the child grows. The orthosis is made based on a scan, 3D-printed with thermoplastic material and contains a soft, washable lining on the interior.

Your smart choice - Because it all matters
Quality scanning, with accuracy up to .25mm (.01“), is required to ensure a precise fit and function of the MyCRO Band.
Each band is uniquely designed using an objective 3D model of the child’s exact cranial structure and state-of-the-art 3D printing technology.
With precise scanning and fitting procedures, your patient’s band is perfectly configured and the need for time-consuming foam modifications is eliminated.
The breathable open-air design covers only the necessary contact points on the patient’s head, maximizing air circulation and minimizing discomfort that can compromise compliance.
Unlike the bulky, odor-absorbing foam helmets, MyCRO Band is easy to keep clean and fresh thanks to its thermoplastic shell and exchangeable inner lining that can be hand-washed.
The MySize Closure System™ is an innovative bioadaptive design that adjusts to your patient’s growth throughout the treatment period, minimizing the need for frequent in-clinic modifications. The self-expanding design keeps the band comfortably in the correct position 23/7, automatically adjusting to the patient’s correcting head shape.
The innovative, customized, low-profile design makes the MyCRO Band an unique alternative to dated foam helmets, setting a new treatment standard for cranial remolding therapy.
When your patient needs cranial remolding therapy, place your trust in MyCRO Band, the most advanced technology available today.
MyCRO Band is 20% - 40% lighter and 60% thinner than traditional helmets.
It’s just that easy
This helmet is really easier to fit. What is interesting and practical is its dynamic closure, which allows variations in cranial remodeling and cranial perimeter growth. The fact that there is no foam inside the helmet reduces the need for frequent adjustments.
Pauline Seniow, Cranial Orthotist
The 3D printed helmet is very well suited, very light, very flexible. This helmet has very few drawbacks, it is very well supported by children and accepted by parents.

When we found out that our child was going to have to wear a helmet, we were a little worried, but the helmet is really easy to use. I didn’t expect that.

Getting him fitted was a breeze!
Harrison was a breech baby. Because of his positioning in the womb there is some flattening on the back of his head and on the side. It was concerning. So, we said lets got to the helmet council and see what they tell us and we quickly learned that the helmet was the only way to go. Getting him fitted for it, was a breeze. It is this new technology, it’s 3D-printed. It’s pretty convenient.
Linda and Thomas, parents of Harrison
How MyCRO Band works
MyCRO Band uses contact and growth zones to guide the growth of the head. The contact zones define gentle limits for growth, while the growth zones leave space in areas required for forming the natural head shape. The MySize Closure System™ allows for adjustability as the child grows.
