Currently, silicone facial prostheses are removed at night, cleaned and stored in makeshift containers such as gift boxes, travel soap containers, etc. Sometimes they are damaged by children or pets, inadvertently discarded in hospitals or if mailed or transported glued surfaces or delicate elements such as eyelashes become disturbed from tumbling because they are somewhat difficult to secure . Anaplastologists often spend considerable time creating methods to suspend the device in a disposable container. A standardized container with modifiable inner element for orbital, nasal or auricular prosthesis to stabilize and safeguard the prosthesis upon closure and perhaps have an antimicrobial element and/or vacuum environment would be desired by thousands of prosthesis wearers.
