AuriNovo provides a patient-specific, biological construct for use in the surgical reconstruction of the external ear in people born with microtia Grades II-IV. This Phase 1 / 2A study is being conducted to collect preliminary safety data on microtic ear reconstruction using AuriNovo, fine-tune technical, logistical, surgical, and post-surgical care aspects related to implantation, and to gather preliminary efficacy data including short- and longer-term in vivo duration and biological status of the implant.

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.

Safety through assessment of AEs
Safety data will be collected on AE type, frequency and severity, treatment, and the time to resolution.
Time frame: 3 months
Efficacy as measured through overall satisfaction scores
Data will be collected to determine the suitability of the AACC to support reconstruction of the outer ear in microtia patients. The following will be used to determine satisfaction; \- Surgical Outcomes Questionnaire (scores range from 15 (lowest satisfaction) to 75 (highest satisfaction))
Time frame: 3 months
Efficacy as measured through overall satisfaction scores
Data will be collected to determine the suitability of the AACC to support reconstruction of the outer ear in microtia patients. The following will be used to determine satisfaction; \- FACE-Q Kids Questionnaire (scores range from 74 (lowest satisfaction) to 296 (highest satisfaction))
Time frame: 3 months
