Impression Putty is used for making a moulage for custom
implants. It is a two-part silicone elastomer. Once mixed
the material can be pressed into thedesired shape and will
cure at room temperature in 15 to 20 minutes.
Caution: Please note that silicone moulage material is
NOT implantable.
- Impression Putty is designed to be mixed in a one-to-one ratio, by weight,
of Impression Putty Base, part A and Impression Putty Crosslinker, part B.
Visual estimation of the proportions is usually sufficient. Be careful not
to mix more material than can be applied in 3 minutes.
- Mix quickly by hand kneading until a homogeneous mixture, indicated by
uniform color, is achieved. Working time can be extended slightly by storing
the kit in a cool (55oF to 65oF) place prior to mixing. It is very important
that no white streaks remain in the mixture. These white areas will not cure
and will make the model unusable.
- To avoid discomfort when applying the putty, shave the area of the body
affected or cover areas of heavy hair growth with a thin sheet of plastic
film such as Saran Wrap.
- Immediately after mixing, press the material into the body defect.
Continue to add putty, smoothing and contouring until the desired shape and
thickness is achieved. Try to avoid unwanted depressions and finger marks.
You may trim the cured moulage if necessary. Supply notes as to required
thickness, edge shape (round, taper, feather, etc.) and any other special
requirements.

fenestrations (suture holes), draw a sketch of the moulage and indicated
their placement. Fax a copy of the Custom Order Form to 775-853-6805. Mail
