10.
Use your hands to mould the mask to the side of the neck and the cranial area, including
occipital bones. The ventral inferior line of the base of skull is an optimal landmark to
mould. Hold the mask in position for 10-20 seconds to ensure an impression is formed.
11.
When the mask material starts to harden, you can use cold packs or cold wet towels to cool the
mask and speed up the setting process.
12.
Keeping the patient in the same position, let the mask cool
and set for at least 5 minutes.
13.
After 5 minutes, the mask should have fully set.

MOULDING A SUPINE FACIAL MASK [DSPS AND SSPS]
1.
Lay the patient in the supine position with the head resting on the occipital mask for DSPS or
supine head support for SSPS.
2.
Take a new supine facial mask (Perforated RayPRO thermoplastic mask with the white frame).
3.
Make sure that all 5 black plungers are in the released position.
4.
Heat the mask in a waterbath with a temperature between 68°C and 70°C (154.4°F and 158°F)
for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes sufficiently pliable.
5.
Take the mask out of the waterbath and dry it between two towels.
6.
Check the temperature of the mask material.
7.
Position the mask above the patient’s face, with MacroMedics’ logo facing upwards.
8.
The nose hole should be positioned on the superior tip of the nose first. Stretch the mask down to
the cradle rim in a smooth, continuous movement for even stretch of the material.
