Welcome to the Auralsplint™ Aural Hematoma Treatment for Canine. You may have already been affected with the causes leading you to this site. An aural hematoma is an affliction of the animal’s ear where a blood vessel(s) break and begin to expand a blood pool within the ear tissue layers of skin and cartilage.
First choice for many owners is to directly go see your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis is fairly straight forward. Your dog is in discomfort due many reasons. The added weight makes the ear hang down unnaturally. Also, and most important to know, is the skin and cartilage are being ripped apart. The tissues which hold together the layers already have torn to the edges of the blood pool and are continuing to tear as long as the hematoma is continuing to expand. This will continue until an aspiration by hypodermic needle. With the pressure now gone, the animal has some relief, for a short while, until the hematoma refills again and expands to the point of full, and begins to tear more tissues. Tough choices lay ahead.
01. Does your clinic offer treatments other than surgery?
02. Is your veterinarian informed about using an ear splint to correct the broken blood vessels in the ear?
03. Will your vet use an Auralsplint kit you provide them if they are not carrying the product in their clinic?
The Auralsplint is a creation out of need. In 2001 my AKC Labrador became inflicted with an AH. As a finish carpenter whose job it is to create form and function, I needed a remedy to help her from the pain of the hematoma tearing the ear tissues apart. Aspirations alone were not enough, so I devised an encapsulation of her ear between 2 thin wooden plates. After successful healing, I researched and wrote a patent application receiving our first patent in 2006. In 2012 I set forth a self-funded research study comprised of 200 participants with 50 returned surveys to compile results in a scientific manuscript. Although the Descriptive Report is considered biased, it is complete with accurate and true results. In 2020 I submitted a Pre-market approval to the FDA and received a Class 1 Medical conclusion. I formed the Texas Corporation Auralsplint Inc. PBC whereby the ability as a Public Benefit Corporation allows us to donate to the public and private for reasons of generosity and visibility of our cause. I wrote a second patent application and received our second patent in April 2023. We are proud of our efforts and hope the AVMA will soon begin teaching our corrective modality to allow us to share as stakeholders in the industry. Auralsplint Inc. PBC
So, from this day forward, the veterinary clinics and their clients will have an ethical cost effective, non-surgical, corrective alternative option for treating aural hematoma in dog, the Auralsplint™.
