R. Craig Pomatto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6572572
    Abstract: A system and methods for the production of cranial remodeling orthoses are described. The patient's head is scanned to produce three dimensional data. The scanned data is modified to produce data which is representative of a preferred head shape. The preferred head shape data is used to produce a custom cranial remodeling orthosis for the patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 3, 2003
    Inventors: Jeanne K. Pomatto, R. Craig Pomatto

  • Patent number: 5308312
    Abstract: A cranial remodeling orthosis is shaped to extend across the top of the head with depending regions closely confining the temporal bone regions and the mastoid process regions of the cranium. The orthosis is self-suspending and preferably includes an elastic band for imparting ear-to-ear rigidity to the device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 1993
    Date of Patent: May 3, 1994
    Inventors: R. Craig Pomatto, Jeanne K. Pomatto
  • Patent number: 5094229
    Abstract: A cranial remodeling band has an internal surface shaped to the configuration to which a subject's cranium is to be reconfigured. The band has at least one discontinuity therein permitting relative movement of anterior and posterior portions of the band. An elastic member extending across the discontinuity biases the anterior and posterior regions toward each other.
