CranioWell Ear Shaping System
Applied in the first weeks while ear cartilage is still soft, the CranioWell ear molding device helps correct protruding ears and other newborn ear deformities without surgery.
Babies are born with delicate ears. Prominent ears, Stahl’s ear, conchal bowl deformity or prominent earlobes can appear early. The CranioWell baby ear corrector set gently guides the ear toward a more natural shape.
Cartilage is most moldable in the first weeks after birth, so assessment should not be delayed once a deformity is noticed. Application and follow-up are always physician-led.
Ear cartilage hardens quickly after birth. The best window is planned after an early clinical assessment.
The set is placed and followed only by treating physicians. Parents can find the nearest doctor in our directory.
