    AbstractBased on the theory and principles of splinting in the reduction of burn contractures, a facial conformer was fabricated with satisfactory results and further surgery was averted. The facial skin softened and regained pliability and function, thus the lower eyelids were restored to their normal position, which allowed full closure and prevented further drying of the cornea and conjunctiva.
