An acrylic resin core for processing silicone facial prostheses.
A technique is presented for making an acrylic resin core for processing silicone facial prostheses. This technique ensures a durable core that can be used to make multiple prostheses. The core resists fungal growth during storage and creates a smooth, easily cleanable internal surface for a facial prosthesis. The core also permits a controllable thickness and therefore a lighter prosthesis.
