THE BODY DOCTOR 4
Dry eyes – why risk it? Contrary to popular belief, not all bacteria on compresses are killed during the microwave heating process. In fact, in ideal conditions bacterial numbers can double over a 20 minute period. To prevent patients potentially being exposed to harmful bacteria and cross-infection we have incorporated Sterileyes antimicrobial solution onto all compresses in our range. Our patented solution is bound to the fibres of the fabric creating a protective shield for the eyes. Sterileyes is clinically proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria. Protect your eyes with Sterileyes. Visit our stand for more information.BONDEYE 22
