Before the CauliCure appliance can be used effectively, the ear must be clear of any fluid accumulation to avoid pain or permanent cartilage damage. The CauliCure compression discs and the injured area must be cleaned with alcohol prior to application and positioning. Choose the size that fits best for the anatomy of the ear tissue being treated. Place the first compression disk on the posterior or the back of the ear, and the second on the anterior or front of the ear. The condition is very easy to get, and up until now has been very difficult to treat with out costly medical intervention and significant risk for infection. At its most basic, the deformity is caused by trauma to the skin and cartilage making up the outer ear. The skin gets pulled away from the cartilage, the space created fills with blood and left untreated, can become very painful and sooner or later, it ends up looking like cauliflower! • The system prevents the condition "Cauliflower Ear" a major problem that plagues the contact sport communities. For best results, do the following; Keep the appliance and area of injury clean at all times. After touching the disks or ear tissue, clean immediately and re-apply. The appliance must be worn at all times, and can take 4 to 7 days for proper adherence of the skin to the cartilage. If a buildup of fluid is present, it must be aspirated prior to the continued use of the CauliCure system. During sleep, it is a requirement to use the provided headband to hold the compression discs in place. Failure to do so results in a poor outcome and potential for additional symptoms. If there is any sign of infection, skin discoloration or moderate to severe pain, seek medical attention immediately.

It can look stupid but most people think your gauging your ear
This stuff works!!!!!!!! I train jiu-jitsu a lot and I have stopped wearing headgear because of this product. I had a huge hematoma in the inside tip of my ear that I had to drain about 7 times in a span of 3 weeks. It just kept filling back up a day or two after I would drain it. That prompted me to order this product. Basically they are magnets with a soft skin surrounding. They come in different gauges and you have to wear it for a week after you drain your ear. YOU DO HAVE TO WEAR IT FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT! It can look stupid but most people think your gauging your ear. In fact, some random girl told me I was brave to get a gauge on the top of my ear lol. IT CAN HURT!!!!! Compressing just hurts plain and simple. However, it is totally worth it. Maybe if I had this product after the 1st time I drained my ear it may not have hurt so much. As far as the after effect, I have a bit of cauliflower ear. No one can notice though, its just a millimeter size that calcified and hardened. But like I said, maybe if I had this product from the get go instead of having to deal with cauliflower ear for 3 weeks and constant draining my results would have been different.Sorry for the long review but there really weren't any when I bought this. I hope this helps anyone who may be worried about developing cauliflower ear. And to anyone who has been made fun of for wearing headgear!

It worked great! I had it drained and then used the ...
I recently purchased CauliCure when I injured my ear in jiujitsu class. I got into grappling later in life and cauliflower ear is not what I wanted at this point. So when I screwed up my ear and had a hematoma, I started to look for something to do about it. I found the CauliCure system and bought it. It worked great! I had it drained and then used the product and now I am good to go. Had to lay off grappling for a few days to heal, but it was worth it to keep my ears normal.When I was researching CauliCure, I came across this video. I found it useful, so maybe others will too.

Works Very Well (You may have to improvise)
This system is much better than clothes pins or binder clips or other odd methods of applying pressure. The pressure is sufficient to deal with the swelling, but not so much that you are damaging/hurting the ear. Depending on where the fluid is building up on your ears you may have to improvise. In my situation the fluid was on the portion of ear that leads down into the ear canal. It was swelling to the point that the ear hole was completely covered up. I was draining 2-3mL out of each ear every other day until I used Caulicure.Make sure to drain every last pocket of fluid out then immediately apply the right combination of magnets. Due to the location of my swelling the magnets alone were not enough to prevent fluid from re-accumulating. For me the adaptation was to place some gauze material inside the ear first then place the magnets over the gauze. This ensured that the skin remained flat against the cartilage. After 4 days no more fluid.Ear guards are now mandatory for me as I do not want to repeat that process!

I loved this product
I loved this product. Follow the directions and prep properly and the magnets will work. I already have a mild case of cauliflower ears before from high school wrestling but a new case of it came up from training BJJ. Got it drained and applied the magnets as per the directions. My job however didn't allow me to wear them 24/7. Still worked as advertised.

Useful review
I have used Caulicure two times in the last year.It is a very affordable alternative to not having to go to the doctors office and pay for a ear reconstruction.Perhaps the most amazing thing that I can tell everyone is how COMFORTABLE the Caulicure kit on my ear.I was able to fix my ear and get back to training within a few days of applying the kit.Watching the vireos online made easy for me to follow the proper application of the kit and optimize my results
