Product Information

About the Product

A reusable fabric eye compress that is heated in a microwave and applied over the closed eyes. It is contoured to fit over both eyes and has an adjustable strap, though it can also be used without the strap. The compress is filled with MediBeads, which absorb water molecules from the air and release that moisture as moist heat when the compress is warmed, so no water is added before use. The mask is latex free, and completely hand washable and reusable, so no cover is required.

People buy this as a reusable warm compress for a daily eyelid routine. It is warmed in the microwave and worn over the closed eyes for 8 to 10 minutes at a time, once or twice a day or as directed by an eye care professional. Because the beads take their moisture from the air, the same compress is washed and used again rather than replaced after each use.

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 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.

What Is Included

  • One Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress with adjustable strap, packaged as a single mask in a polybag.
