AuriNovo for Auricular Reconstruction

AuriNovo is a patient-specific, biologically natural, supportive base for surgical reconstruction of the external ear (auricle) in people born with microtia Grades II-IV. The construct is a 3D-bioprinted collagen hydrogel scaffold encapsulating the patient's own auricular cartilage cells (chondrocytes). The construct is printed in a size and shape that matches the contralateral ear for implantation into the patient.
