Japan Medical Company co-sponsored “Hiroshima Pediatric Neurology Seminar 2024” sponsored by Hiroshima University Hospital Neurosurgery Department
Japan Medical Company Co., Ltd. Press release: November 8, 2024 Japan Medical Company co-hosted “Hiroshima Pediatric Neurology Seminar 2024” hosted by Hiroshima University Hospital Neurosurgery Department Japan Medical Company Co., Ltd. is co-hosting the “Hiroshima Pediatric Neurology Seminar 2024″ hosted by the Department of Neurosurgery, Hiroshima University Hospital. It was held in a hybrid format As social interest in the shape (distortion) of babies’ heads increases, the number of specialized outpatient clinics and clinics is increasing. Appropriate differential diagnosis (cranial health examination) is necessary to determine whether the cause of cranial deformity in infants is positional deformity (mainly caused by the orientation of the head during sleep) or distortion caused by disease. ) is most important. As helmet treatment becomes more widespread, some medical institutions are claiming that it can treat cranial deformities “quickly” and “easily”, and it is a matter of concern that careless treatment is being performed without proper differential diagnosis. You should. This seminar was chaired by doctors from Hiroshima University Hospital’s neurosurgery, pediatrics, and rehabilitation departments, with the aim of returning to the original ideal of medical care. We received a presentation on the case study. Despite the seminar being held on a weekday evening, it was a great success with approximately 40 people attending the seminar on the day, and nearly 100 people from all over the country applying online, making it the largest number of participants ever.

At Hiroshima University Hospital, the departments of neurosurgery, pediatrics, and rehabilitation work together to provide cranial examinations and cranial correction treatment, and we are working to raise awareness about preventing baby head deformities, which go beyond helmet treatment. . Japan Medical Company Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO Hideaki Ohno, hereinafter referred to as the Company) dispatches a dedicated employee to the weekly “Head Shape Outpatient Clinic” at Hiroshima University Hospital, where doctors and other staff attend. We support medical examinations. During monthly medical examinations, we adjust the helmet’s inner cushion down to the millimeter in accordance with the growth of the child’s head and the effectiveness of the treatment, thereby creating a treatment system that consistently provides peace of mind from the start to the end of treatment. .
Professor Nobutaka Horie, Department of Neurosurgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Hiroshima University The Hiroshima Pediatric Neurology Seminar 2024 was held for the purpose of raising awareness and cooperation regarding pediatric cranial deformities, and was held for the third time. This time, there was a lot of discussion about rehabilitation approaches for positional cranial deformities in babies, the relationship and response between co-existing diseases and cranial deformities, and the relationship with premature synostosis of the suture line, which can be a target for surgery. Close collaboration among neurosurgery, pediatrics, and rehabilitation departments is essential for cranial deformity treatment. By bringing together these departments and providing a comprehensive treatment system, we can provide the optimal treatment for patients, so we hope that this kind of initiative will spread further from Hiroshima to the rest of the country. Professor Ken Okada, Department of Pediatrics, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Hiroshima University During infant checkups, we often receive inquiries from parents who are concerned about their baby’s
orientation and irregular head shape. To address such concerns, Hiroshima University Hospital has set up a head shape outpatient department. At our hospital, neurosurgery, rehabilitation, and pediatrics work together to provide head shape outpatient care, allowing us to provide medical care that takes into account not only diagnosis, self-care guidance, and treatment, but also growth and development. We receive many consultations not only from Hiroshima prefecture but also from other prefectures, and we aim to carefully respond to a wide range of needs and provide medical care that is close to parents who are experiencing problems. Professor Yukio Mikami, Department of Rehabilitation, Hiroshima University Hospital Social interest in the shape of babies’ heads is increasing day by day. At Hiroshima University Hospital, we operate a medical system in which three departments work together: the Rehabilitation Department provides deformity prevention interventions, the Neurosurgery Department provides diagnosis and treatment, and the Pediatric Department follows up on growth and development. We will continue to work closely together to advance this Hiroshima model, which is still rare among other medical institutions. Dr. Fumiyuki Yamazaki, Associate Professor, Department of Neurosurgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Hiroshima University We believe that Hiroshima University Hospital will become the core hospital in the
Chugoku-Shikoku region when it comes to the shape of infants’ heads. In order to provide appropriate cranial orthodontic treatment, it is also important to collaborate with manufacturers that have a large number of cases. By bringing together the experience and track record of Hiroshima University Hospital, we aim to provide medical care that addresses the concerns of parents who complain of “crania deformities in infants” from the perspective of their child’s growth and development.
This seminar was a good learning opportunity to disseminate correct information and treatment regarding the treatment of “baby head shape”. In the future, our company will continue to work with medical institutions to spread the concept of cranial shape correction and disease awareness. • Product information Qurum Fit / Qurum

This helmet is made in Japan using a cutting-edge 3D printer, and has high breathability to prevent stuffiness.Not only the helmet but also the cushion itself can be washed with water. From the mechanism to the design, we have given form to what babies need. In addition to the high quality of the product itself, doctors who wish to use our helmets are required to attend a helmet appropriate treatment training session and visit a leading medical institution (university hospital) with a proven track record of treatment. Even after introducing our helmets, we ask doctors to continue
participating in helmet appropriate treatment training sessions. These are our own standards that were decided upon and introduced by doctors, mainly directors of the Japan Cranial Examination and Treatment Study Group, so that parents can receive cranial
examinations and helmet treatments with peace of mind. What you can do for “the best peace of mind.” The implementation and
post-implementation process of helmet treatment is also one of our qualities. https://babyhelmet.jp/product/ • About Japan Medical Company Co., Ltd.

Our predecessor was Ohno Kogyo, a steel manufacturer founded in 1897, and we have continued to grow based on the
manufacturing techniques and spirit cultivated over 130 years. In 1999, we introduced reverse engineering using additive manufacturing technology (3D printing) and obtained a patent for the manufacturing method of human bone models such as ear ossicles. In the field of 3D models for preoperative simulation, we have developed numerous preoperative case models and educational practice models. Currently, our models are used for hands-on training in pre-surgical simulations and certification exams, mainly in the fields of neurosurgery and otorhinolaryngology. In 2012, we developed the first domestically produced cranial correction helmet “Aimet” in collaboration with a neurosurgeon, and in 2018 we became independent as Japan Medical Company. Currently, our products include the cranial correction helmets “Qurum Fit” and “Qurum,” the “baby head shape measurement app” that can easily measure the degree of cranial deformity in infants, and the “metto” helmet treatment support tool. We aim to create new value in the medical field by developing, manufacturing, and selling products such as MET) apps. We have a cumulative track record of more than 16,000 cases using helmets, and we will work to further expand awareness of helmet treatment, as well as spread the concept of cranial shape correction and disease awareness. ■Company name: Japan Medical Company Co., Ltd. ■Established: May 2018 ■Representative Director and CEO: Hideaki Ohno ■Business details: Development, manufacture, and sale of medical devices, development, manufacture, and sale of miscellaneous medical products ■URL:
