USING THE EASYGRIP
Attach the MacroCast mask with L-Profile to the EasyGrip
device by pushing the pins through the profile holes.
Submerge the mask and EasyGrip in the water bath.
Remove the EasyGrip from the mask before you will
start moulding the mask on the patient.

MOULDING THE MASK
1.
Dry the mask with a towel.
2.
Check if the temperature of the mask is not too hot to
touch the patients’ skin.
3.
Position the mask above the patients’ face. Align the
nose hole of the mask with the nose of the patient.
4.
Carefully pull the Profiles towards the baseplate so
that the mask forms around the patients’ face.
5.
First secure the profiles which are located on both sides
of the head to the baseplate. Then lock the most Cranial
Profile. Lastly, secure the Shoulder Profiles if applicable.
6.
Mould the mask precisely around the nose bridge, chin
and eye sockets of the patient.
7.
When the facial features have been precisely moulded
into the mask, start cooling down the mask. Cold-packs
can be used to speed up the cooling process.
8.
When completely cooled, remove the mask.
