Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Premie Pouch is an experimental device meant to manage the development of Deformational Plagiocephaly (DP) starting immediately following birth. The Premie Pouch has a concave-shaped foam insert that will provide a resting surface for the infant's head and body that will eliminate uneven pressure on the infant's occiput while maintaining correct body alignment. Also, the posterior neck area of the infant will be supported by a fixed bridge section of the foam insert. The Premie Pouch is designed specifically for the very low birth weight (VLBW) infant.
