Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress, Single Eye, Microwave Activated

About the Product

A reusable fabric compress sized for one eye, heated in a microwave and applied over the closed eye, so the other eye stays uncovered. The compress is filled with MediBeads. The beads have a honeycomb shaped pore and absorb only water molecules from the air while rejecting body oils and other organic fluids, so no water is added before use. Silver is present in the bead. The compress is latex free, and completely hand washable and reusable, so no cover is required.

This is the single eye size, for people who want to warm one eye at a time and leave the other uncovered. It is warmed in the microwave and worn over the closed eye for 5 to 10 minutes, or as directed by an eye care professional, and it is washed and reused rather than discarded.

Materials

• MediBeads fill Specially formed and treated beads with a honeycomb shaped pore that absorb only water molecules from the air and release that moisture as moist heat when the compress is warmed, so no water is added before use.
• Fabric shell The hand washable fabric that encloses the beads and holds the shape sized for a single closed eye, so no separate cover is required.
• Adjustable strap The strap that holds the compress in position over the eyes, which can be left off if preferred.

What Is Included

• One Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress, single eye size
