  • Patent number: 7153313
    Abstract: An improved ear pressure device and process for the treatment of an auricular hematoma in a pendent ear of an animal. The device is comprised of two opposing rigid plates each containing at least one raised lineal or area encompassing rib located on an inward surface and used for applying pressure and controlling blood flow to and from the area treated. The process includes: aspirating pooled blood with a hypodermic needle: attaching the first plate to the ear with the raised rib toward the ear using athletic tape; aligning and attaching the opposing plate, rib facing inward, to the first plate and the ear; taping the entire device to the top of the animal's head with athletic tape over and under forming a loop around the head of the animal while allowing for normal breathing to occur. The device applies even pressure from both opposing plates and the raised ribs control the blood flow. The device and the process eliminates the need for surgery, sutures, and possible infection therefrom.
