The experience of the medical team from\u00a0<\/span>European Craniofacial Medical Centre<\/strong> in the field of treatment of craniofacial anomalies of the newborn and infant dates back to 1974.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In his extensive professional experience, Dr. Pinyot’s team <\/span>has treated more than 4,200 cases of cranial deformities<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

After their pediatric and surgical training in prestigious Spanish pediatric hospitals, its professionals have taught, have led pediatric surgical teams, have participated in numerous national and international congresses being distinguished in some of them with the award for the best communications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since 1974, surgery has advanced enormously, craniofacial surgery has been developed and tissue expansion, endoscopic cranial surgery, internal and external bone distraction (RED) and cranial orthopedic treatment with active cranial bands have appeared.<\/p>

As a result of our interest in the treatment of positional plagiocephaly by means of cranial banding (1998), all the members of our team have undergone specific training at the Cranial Technologies Inc. <\/strong>(CTI) center <\/strong> in Phoenix, Arizona, USA (1999), and also undergo annual continuing education <\/strong>under the direction of the North American center.<\/p>

From 1988 to the present, Cranial Technologies Inc. (USA) has treated more than 300,000 cases<\/strong> of craniofacial deformities with DOC Band\u00ae and has 22 centers in the United States and Europe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Craniofacial deformities have always existed, although never with the current frequency and severity. There are basically three: plagiocephaly<\/a>, brachycephaly<\/a> and scaphocephaly<\/a>. The best known is plagiocephaly and its name is sometimes used in particular when speaking in general of all of them.<\/p>

The first treatment of plagiocephaly by means of cranial orthosis was published by Sterling K. Clarren<\/a> (1979), who used passive bands. Jeanne Pomatto-Hertz<\/a> (1986), founder of the American company Cranial Technologies Inc., CTI, (1988), invented and patented the dynamic cranial orthosis called DOC Band\u00ae, laid the modern foundations for the diagnosis and correct treatment of plagiocephaly, and published them in her fundamental scientific works published in 1994<\/a> and 1998<\/a>.<\/p>

As a result of our interest in their work (1998) and our subsequent training and integration into the worldwide network of Cranial Technologies Inc.<\/a> s worldwide network, we opened two centers in Spain in 1999 for the treatment of plagiocephaly based on their protocols. That same year, we launched our first plagiocephaly.com website, which filled a gap in its field in non-English language, and from which began an immense clinical work and an important social movement promoted by our professionals in the form of an open forum for parents on the Internet, the collection of signatures by parents and finally the creation of an association of parents of affected children.<\/p>

It was not until 2003<\/a> that a scientific committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics chaired by the prestigious plastic surgeon and neurosurgeon John A. Persing<\/a> published a scientific article in which he officially advised for the first time the use of cranial reshaping bands.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As a result of our team work in recent years in the field of cranial deformities (plagiocephaly) and cranial malformations (craniosynostosis), we have participated in multiple pediatric congresses explaining our results with DOC Band\u00ae, we have published scientific and informative articles for parents, we have introduced in Europe the concept of minimally invasive surgery, we have campaigned for the political health administrations and pediatric academic organizations to become actively involved in these issues, we have collaborated in the creation of associations of parents of children with these problems in Spain and France.<\/p>\n

Based on this experience, today we announce the launch of an international medical center for comprehensive clinical diagnosis and the most up-to-date medical, surgical and orthopedic treatment of cranial deformities and malformations.<\/p>\n

Our team includes experienced international pediatric medical and surgical specialists.<\/p>\n\nOur objectives are:<\/strong>\n
