About The STARscanner Laser Data Acquisition System  
Orthomerica is proud to offer the latest technology for treating patients with deformational plagiocephaly — The STARscanner laser data acquisition system.  The STARscanner is an accurate, safe, and fast system for capturing the three dimensional image of a baby’s head shape.  The STARscanner’s state-of-the-art software is designed to evaluate head shape data for infants with deformational plagiocephaly and other head shape anomalies.  The system also produces detailed reports to document head shape changes over time.

The STARscanner:
•
 Non-invasive scanning replaces the traditional plaster casting process.
•
 Scans are safe and take less than two seconds to complete.
•
 Software records detailed head shape measurements and calculates craniofacial indices (including volumes, symmetry ratios, circumference, and linear measurements).
•
 Measures efficacy of cranial remolding orthosis treatment by documenting outcomes for physicians and parents.
•
 Documents effectiveness of physical therapy and repositioning efforts.
•
 Provides insurance companies with specific measurements, information, and quantitative outcome analysis.


The STARscanner is an effective and trusted system, used by leading practitioners for STAR cranial remolding orthosis treatment since 2001.  If a STAR cranial remolding orthosis is prescribed, a scan is emailed to Orthomerica Products, Inc. Orthomerica was the first company to receive clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a scanning system used to capture infant head shape data.
