Baby Infant Frejka Pillow Orthopaedic Medical Device – For the Early Treatment of Hip Dysplasia & Instability
Description
This infant Frejka Pillow is a certified Class 1 paediatric medical device. Manufactured from top quality molded plastazote foam to treat or support hip problems in babies. The Plastizode foam material is lightweight, soft, but supportive. Wedged inbetween the baby’s legs and straps around the waist to keep it in place. It is radiolucent which means that the material does not block immaging scans such as X-ray, CT, MRI, allowing medical professionals to monitor the baby’s hip development without removing the device. It is also easy to clean. The early intervention of a device like this often completely corrects the problem without surgery.
Indications & Functions
- DDH – Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (when the hip joint doesn’t develop properly)
- Hip instability or laxity
- Mild congenital hip dislocation or subluxation
The device holds the baby’s legs bent and spread apart (in flexion and abduction). It allows some movement, but prevents the legs from coming together. This position helps the hip joint sit correctly in the socket, allowing normal development. Over time, this improves alignment and helps the joint form properly, keeping the hips in the healthiest position for growth.

Usage
This is a medical device and is typically fitted by a specialist. It should not be removed by parents, even during bathing, unless specifically advised by the clinical team. Parents should regularly check the baby’s skin for any signs of redness or soreness. Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled on a weekly or fortnightly basis to monitor progress and assess hip development.
