发明名称 Ear molding device for correcting misshaped ears
摘要 A system and method for correcting misshaped ears using a molding device having one or more braces supporting a scaphal mold. The one or more braces and the scaphal mold are adapted to retain the helix and the helical rim of a misshaped ear within a space defined between the one or more braces and the scaphal mold, and to maintain a substantially correct anatomical shape of the helix and the helical rim.

主权项 1. A molding system for a human ear, wherein the ear includes an antihelix, a superior limb of the triangular fossa, a helix, a helical rim, a base, a concha, and a scaphal area, the molding system comprising: a cradle comprising: a base section defining an opening dimensioned to accommodate the passage of the ear through the opening, the base section including a posterior surface and an anterior surface;a cover releasably engageable with the base section, wherein the cover, when engaged with the base section, defines a compartment between an inner surface of the cover and an inner surface of the base section; and an ear molding device comprising: one or more braces; anda scaphal mold supported by the one or more braces, wherein the one or more braces and the scaphal mold are adapted to retain the helix and helical rim within a space defined between the one or more braces and the scaphal mold, and to maintain a substantially correct anatomical shape of the helix and the helical rim.
