Creating a silicone mold for microtia prosthetics is a crucial step in ensuring a comfortable and precise fit. At Tahiri Plastic Surgery, we provide detailed instructions to guide you through this process. Begin by mixing two white Azoft packets with two blue Azoft packets until you achieve a uniform light blue color. This mixture forms the base of your mold.
Next, mold approximately one-fifth of this material into the canal or faux canal. This step is essential for capturing the intricate details of the ear structure. With the remaining Azoft, shape it into a “sausage” and a “pancake.” The sausage should be placed behind the ear, while the pancake covers the top. Integrate these portions to form a cohesive unit, mirroring the mold used post-surgery.
Once the mold has set and hardened, carefully remove it. This mold will serve as a template for creating a prosthetic that fits seamlessly. For maintenance, clean the mold with antibacterial soap and water to ensure hygiene and longevity.
Our team at Tahiri Plastic Surgery is available to provide guidance and support throughout this process. By following these silicone mold instructions, you can enhance the fitting of your prosthetic, ensuring both comfort and functionality.
