Modified technique for preparing a polyurethane lining for facial prostheses.

Abstract

A simplified technique for preparing, under a vacuum, a polyurethane lining for a facial prosthesis is described. A previously presented technique strengthened the prosthesis and allowed it to be attached with a water-based adhesive. This technique eliminates wrinkling, simplifies bonding, allows multiple linings to be made at the same time, conserves time and cost, and improves predictability of the results.
