As an eye care professional, you may be wondering why Ortopad® Eye Patches are a recommended choice for your patients. Let us take a moment to highlight the benefits that make Ortopad® an excellent solution for occlusion therapy.
High Quality with Good Tolerance
Ortopad® eye patches are made in Italy from a soft, air-permeable bamboo material with a special light protection inlay and a highly compatible “hotmelt” adhesive. They are latex-free and contain no preservatives, which means they can be used on a daily basis even with sensitive skin.
Sustainable Bamboo Material
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing and renewable raw materials in the world. Unlike when a tree is cut down, the bamboo plant remains after its stalks have been harvested because the roots simply sprout over and over. Due to its rapid growth, bamboo absorbs a large amount of CO2 and of course produces a lot of oxygen.
What is Hotmelt Adhesive?
Hotmelt adhesive is temperature-sensitive and pressure-sensitive. It is activated with light pressure, and body heat ensures that the adhesive stays in place without tugging or pinching. This adhesive can be removed painlessly without leaving any residue. Hotmelt adhesive is hypoallergenic, solvent-free, and contains no rubber or resins.
Superior Light Blocking Qualities
Ortopad® patches have a special shape with nasal slits cut into the patch for a better fit close to the nose, allowing the patch to fit well under eye glasses. The opaque black inlay assures maximum shielding from light. To ensure that every child has a patch that fits perfectly, Ortopad® has three sizes available: Junior, Medium and Regular.
Ortopad® is made in Italy, and has been trusted by physicians and patients for over 20 years!
