The Japanese-made cranial shape correction helmet "Baby Band," developed and manufactured by Berry Inc. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuji Nakano) aimed at improving infant "head distortion," will be exhibiting a booth at the 129th Japan Pediatric Society Academic Gathering (Dates: April 17-19, 2026, Venue: Kaikyo Messe Shimonoseki).

While interest in infant cranial shapes is increasing, the medical areas where appropriate checkups and treatments can be received are still limited. In order to eliminate the current disparity in access to diagnosis and treatment depending on the region of residence, it is essential to provide correct information to medical professionals, including pediatricians, and to develop the medical care system. Through the venue of this academic gathering, where pediatricians from all over the country assemble, Berry Inc. will contribute to creating an environment where appropriate cranial checkups and helmet therapy can be received in any medical area.

At the venue, we will exhibit the actual "Baby Band" unit and introduce general concepts regarding indications for helmet therapy, the treatment flow, and adoption case studies. Doctors and medical professionals interested in introducing cranial shape correction helmet therapy or providing information to patients are highly encouraged to visit Booth No. 29.

"Baby Band," which began provision in July 2022, has currently been adopted by over 250 medical institutions across 41 prefectures nationwide. Among similar products offered in Japan, this is the industry's highest number of adopting medical institutions (*1).

Aiming to realize a society where optimal treatment is delivered to families anxious about their baby's head shape, regardless of where they live or their environment, we will continue to expand our adopting medical institutions and improve medical access.
