Product Information
About the Product
A reusable fabric eye compress that is heated in a microwave and applied over the closed eyes, supplied in a retail box. It is contoured into a two pod shape that sits over both eyes and has an adjustable strap, though it can also be used without the strap. 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 retail boxed version of the compress, so it arrives with a mesh storage bag and a product education brochure rather than in a polybag. It is otherwise the same reusable warm compress, warmed in the microwave and worn over the closed eyes for 8 to 10 minutes as part of a daily eyelid routine.

- Fabric shell The hand washable fabric that encloses the beads and holds the contoured shape worn over the closed eyes, 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.
