A FEW WORDS ABOUT US
CleftAlign, Inc. was established in February 2021 with a core focus on developing, manufacturing, and selling innovative products for Presurgical Infant Orthopedics (PSIO) therapy. Our commitment is not just to meet the needs of children affected by cleft but to elevate their care experience through ingenuity and compassion.
At the heart of our offerings is NoseAlign®, a patent-pending Presurgical Cleft Nose Approximation Device released earlier this year. This user-friendly marvel ensures seamless application for cleft teams and significantly diminishes the frequency of office visits for caregivers. By prioritizing ease of use and efficiency, NoseAlign® transforms the often-intricate PSIO treatment into a more accessible and streamlined process.
Excitingly, our upcoming release, LipAlign™, introduces another dimension to our product line. This Presurgical Cleft Lip Approximation Tape, set to debut in early summer, underscores our commitment to empowering cleft teams and caregivers alike. Both NoseAlign® and LipAlign™ are meticulously designed to facilitate the adoption of PSIO therapy, ensuring that these innovative solutions become integral components of cleft care.
As we pioneer advancements in the field, CleftAlign, Inc. envisions a future where every child born with cleft lip and palate receives the highest standard of care. Our journey is marked by a dedication to excellence, a passion for transformative solutions, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of the children we serve.
