title: Clear acrylic resin device for orientation and placement of a small facial prosthesis.
abstract: A small-sized facial prosthesis can be difficult to orient accurately in correct relationship to a defect. This problem may be reduced by embedding a magnet in the prosthesis and constructing a magnetic holding device from clear acrylic resin. This device can be used as a stand during adhesive application to reduce adhesive contamination and acts as orientation guide during prosthesis placement.
