Introduction

Orthomerica® received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 3, 2001 to market the STARscanner™ for use in collecting head shape data for the fabrication of Orthomerica's cranial remolding orthoses.

The STARscanner™ system, developed in collaboration with Vorum Research Corporation, was designed to provide orthotists with an efficient and effective tool for acquiring accurate head shape data for cranial remolding orthoses. This scanner represents a quantum leap in orthotic and prosthetic technology. It eliminates the casting process normally required to fabricate a custom-molded cranial remolding orthosis by scanning the infant's head in less than two seconds using a combination of lasers and cameras. The orthotist can now measure the progression of therapy and substantiate the efficacy of cranial remolding orthoses with computerized pre and post treatment documentation --- a significant competitive advantage to quantify positive clinical outcomes to physicians, therapists, caregivers and insurance companies.
