Here at Butterflies Healthcare HQ, we are thrilled to launch TearRestore, a much-needed innovation in heated eye mask design.
Why recommend TearRestore?
Your patients can continue working at a computer, watching TV, doing household chores or reading at bedtime whilst wearing the mask, making this a game changer in the management of dry eyes, blepharitis and MGD.
With its unique, open-eye design, the dual combination of blinking and gentle, therapeutic warmth, releases and spreads the oils secreted from the meibomian glands to soothe dry and sore eyes.
TearRestore was developed by industry leading physicians to fill a gap in the market using their knowledge of eye anatomy to target the glands directly around the eyes.
This is a great improvement in the time-consuming management of dry eyes and heralds a step forward in patient compliance and therefore gives superior results. Patients are more likely to use the mask regularly as they can fit it in to their daily routine, for instance, wearing it while reading at bedtime.
In fact, microwaveable masks cool quickly and when used daily can use up to the equivalent of 4 full days per year performing a minimally effective treatment. The chemically-activated gel in the TearRestore heat packs ensure consistent temperature and warmth over the entire 10 minute treatment time.
How does it work?
Each advanced, self-heating pack radiates 10 minutes of consistent, therapeutic heat onto the meibomian glands via anatomically placed applicators on the outer mask. The heat packs are activated by simply clicking the metal disc then massaging the gel inside to spread the warmth over the entire pack.
The medical grade vinyl heat packs are held in place by a durable outer mask that fits comfortably over the head with an adjustable elastic strap.
The heat pack fits into the outer mask by matching up the eye holes and securing it in position.
They can be reset for re-use in boiling water for 5 minutes after every use. Each heat pack can be reactivated 90 times.
In summary
For patients who are forgetful or short on time in the mornings and evenings, Tear Restore open-eye thermal mask addresses an unmet need for a wearable mask that is both time efficient and clinically effective.
Each pack contains one outer mask and one heat pack, replacement heat packs are available.
