Surgery cost Tania an ear... but then expert came to the rescue
Yorkshire Today
“ …a simple non-surgical method of correcting abnormalities with a soft splint.”…. “The usual treatment is surgery later in life, but the results are unpredictable, and it can be a difficult process; recently a 14 year old girl died of complications following a operation to correct her protruding ears.”
Telegraph Magazine
“ In 1990, Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr David Gault FRCS, noticed a ‘kink’ in one of the ears of his newborn son, and decided to put a theory of his into practice. Ear splinting was an accepted technique in pedigree dogs like beagles, whose value was greatly diminished by a floppy ear. Mr Gault applied a home-made splint to his son’s ear, and was rewarded with a perfect fix days later. In 1995, the splints were trialed in the UK with an excellent response.”
RCM Midwives Journal
“Tiny ears are putty in the hands of plastic surgeon David Gault from the Mount Vernon Hospital, Middlesex. His brilliant invention called Ear Buddies splints is a splint which can pin back prominent ears and correct simple deformities in babies.”
