A new method of manufacturing temporary orthoses is described. Immobilization--as much as necessary and as little as possible--is attainable with these orthoses, which reduce damage by immobilization and simplify rehabilitation. Recommendation to the manufacture regarding the characteristics of the material and accessory aids are presented.

A most precise immobilisation of the patient's head is indispensable in order to reach a high degree of exactness and reproducibility in radiotherapy of malignant head and neck tumors. Face masks made of different synthetic materials have proved to be a simple and economical solution for this problem. Based on our own experiences with "Baycast Longuettes" (manufacturing firm: Johnson & Johnson, Düsseldorf), eleven substances have been tested in the phantom (compound of plaster and synthetic resin, thermoplast, polyurethane foam, compounds of cotton and synthetic resin, and fibre glass compounds).

By means of positioning and fixation aids, the precision and reproducibility of irradiation fields in radiotherapy of malignant tumors of the head and neck can be considerably improved. Face masks made of different synthetic materials have proved to be a practicable solution of this problem. In our hospital we have developed and tested a simple and not expensive possibility of manufacturing the masks with "Baycast" (producer: Bayer AG Leverkusen).
