The PlagioCradle™ (previously known as the cranial cup) is an orthotic device developed by Gary Rogers M.D., J.D., M.B.A., M.P.H., a craniofacial surgeon formerly of Boston Children's Hospital and James Miller C.P.O. a licensed orthotist. The PlagioCradle™ is an anatomically correcting, repeatedly adjustable, concave-shaped resting surface for an infant's head and body that effectively eliminates uneven pressure on the infant's occiput while maintaining correct body alignment. In addition, the posterior neck area of the infant is supported by a fixed bridge section, which also serves to off-load or reduce contact pressure between the rest surface and the occiput, especially as the cavity of the device deepens. The PlagioCradle™ has been found to be an effective tool in preventing or correcting DP in preterm and term infants. The PlagioCradle™ accommodates infants weighing 1 Kg or larger.
