In Ubiotex we help you prevent postural plagiocephaly in babies, which is the most common craniofacial anomaly and consists of a flattening of the child’s occiput with facial asymmetry, according to the Pediatrics Unit of the University of Navarra Clinic; Normally it does not affect the intellectual development of the child but it does affect aesthetically producing a malformation in the development of the skull.

It is produced by the constant pressure at the same point of the head that prevents it from developing uniformly:

• during pregnancy, because the baby has little mobility or remains in the same position for a long time and also in multiple pregnancies in which the space is smaller and does not allow so much mobility,
• at the time of delivery, if forceps or suckers are used,
• once born, as a result of maintaining the same posture for prolonged periods of rest or sleep.

In the latter case, to prevent deformity it is important that we monitor the baby’s posture and make postural changes when he is awake, take him in his arms, carry him and turn his head on both sides when he is asleep or at rest. It can also be prevented by using the positioning cushions that keep the baby’s head in a correct and comfortable position, relieving pressure.

At Ubiotex, we help you prevent plagiocephaly with our soft, breathable and soft fabric positioning cushions. They prevent and correct cranial deformities and contribute to a correct and comfortable posture for the baby. We have two models of postural cushions to prevent any positional deformity. The most frequent deformities are:

• Plagiodephaly: Flattening the back of the head and / or moving the same side of the head forward. It is used as a generic name to name other cranial deformities.
• Brachycephaly: More or less symmetrical flattening of the entire back of the head.
• Scaphocephaly: Head narrow and high by transverse and elongated flattening in the anteroposterior direction.

One of our models releases pressure from the central area of ​​the skull, most recommended for central cranial deformity problems. The other model, in addition to releasing pressure from the central area of ​​the skull, allows the baby’s head to be positioned towards the sides for cases in which there is cranial deformity in areas other than the central part.

If you have a baby or you will have it soon, the positioning cushion is perfect because it allows you to place your baby’s head in the correct position and so you will be sure to avoid deformations. And, if you have to give a gift to a couple who has had a baby, you will not be able to find a better option, they will always thank you.
