External ear prostheses, implantable, are medical devices designed to restore the appearance and function of the external ear when natural tissue is damaged, missing, or congenitally absent. These devices are surgically implanted to provide a natural-looking reconstruction, improving both aesthetics and, in some cases, structural support for surrounding tissues.
These devices are typically regulated as implants and must meet strict safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are usually supplied sterile and customized to fit individual patients, often requiring collaboration between surgeons, prosthetists, and radiologists for proper placement and integration.
