Plagiocephaly is a problem or disorder characterized by asymmetrical distortion—lateral flattening—of the skull in babies. It is common at birth and can be the result of a brain malformation, a restrictive intrauterine environment, or torticollis (spasm or stiffness of the neck muscles).
At ECUS Kids, we work on baby's health from the cradle.
Plagiocephaly affects 47% of babies. At ECUS Kids, we work to prevent postural deformities in the skulls of newborns and infants through our Care® line of mattresses. The Care® series mattresses prevent and correct plagiocephaly and are certified as medical devices by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS), which is part of the Ministry of Health. These features make it the safest crib mattress for your baby.
Plagiocephaly: one problem, two solutions
Care® Mattress. Protect your baby against plagiocephaly. The Care® anti-plagiocephaly crib mattress is the first to be certified for the prevention of plagiocephaly and suffocation. Its topper reduces the pressure exerted on the baby's head by up to 70%. It is ideal for co-sleeping, as its topper can be detached with a zipper and used separately, for co-sleeping in the parents' bed, for traveling, or as a play mat.
Care® Ultimate Mattress. Cooler, drier, safer. The evolution of the Care model. It reduces pressure on the baby's head by 70% and its Xtra-Cool fabric keeps the baby dry and cool at all times. The Care® Ultimate model also has the Ministry of Health's health certificate for its ability to prevent and correct plagiocephaly and suffocation. And it is even more breathable than the previous Care® model, perfect for babies who get hot easily!
