Frejka Pillow with Rigid Fixation, Kreit B-803 #1 (16-18 cm) for Infant Hip Dysplasia

The Kreit B-803 #1 Frejka Pillow (16-18 cm) offers a solution for parents seeking effective treatment for their child’s hip dysplasia. This specialized orthopedic pillow provides firm yet comfortable fixation of both hips in a flexed and abducted position (approximately 90 degrees), promoting healthy hip joint development.

Indications:

• Congenital hip subluxation
• Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)

Key Features:

• Adjustable Size: The non-fixed size allows for a 1-2 cm width adjustment to accommodate your child’s growth.
• Soft Shoulder Pads: Gentle shoulder pads prevent chafing and ensure maximum comfort.
• Breathable Fabric: Crafted from a high-quality blend of 88% cotton, 7% polypropylene, and 5% polyester, with a PPÉ filling, ensuring breathability and gentle support.

Instructions for Use:

• Age Range: Suitable for children aged 1 to 9 months. Replace as needed with growth.
• Sizing: Measure the distance between the popliteal fossa (the hollows behind the knees) while the hips are abducted. A doctor should determine the correct size.
• Application: Apply the pillow over a cotton garment and/or diaper. Position the baby so their perineum is centered on the base of the pillow and their legs are positioned along the sides. Secure the straps in the front, adjusting as needed.
• Initial Adjustment: Some initial fussiness (1-2 weeks) is common. Gentle massage, warm compresses, calming baths (with aromatherapy oils if desired), and a pacifier may help soothe your baby.
• Duration of Use: The duration and frequency of use should be determined by your pediatrician or orthopedist.

Contraindications:

• Congenital hip dislocation

Care Instructions:

• Hand Wash: Hand wash at 40°C (104°F) separately from other items using a gentle detergent.
• Drying: Do not wring or rub. Rinse thoroughly and air dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight.
• Maintenance: Do not iron, bleach, dry clean, or use solvents. Store in a dry place at room temperature. Protect from moisture, high temperatures, and direct sunlight.
