title: Ocular prosthetic obturator: an innovative  medical device.
abstract: The following article describes the methods, materials and techniques used in the long-term management of an anophthalmic patient. Following aggressive surgery to remove a squamous cell carcinoma, the patient had no orbital implant inserted at the time of surgery and remains reticent in regard to further surgery. She presented with a large orbital socket requiring imaginative and innovative ocular rehabilitation. This paper describes the materials and methods of fabricating this new and innovative medical device.
