Kopfrahmens
Kopfrahmens, also known as skull frames, are orthotic devices designed to support and stabilize the skull, particularly in cases of craniosynostosis or other conditions that affect skull growth. These devices are typically made of lightweight, durable materials such as titanium or plastic, and are custom-fitted to the patient's skull using a mold or 3D printing technology. Kopfrahmens are worn on the outside of the head and are secured with straps or adhesive pads. They work by applying gentle pressure to the skull, promoting normal growth and development. The use of kopfrahmens is a non-surgical treatment option that can help prevent or correct deformities in the skull, such as those caused by craniosynostosis. The effectiveness of kopfrahmens varies depending on the individual case and the severity of the condition. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor progress and adjust the treatment as needed. Kopfrahmens are typically used in conjunction with other treatments, such as medication or surgery, to achieve the best possible outcome.
