- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the disposable eye patch and the release layer of FIG. 4 ;
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the eye patch of FIG. 1 provided on a dispenser roll.
- FIG. 7 shows the disposable eye patch of FIG. 1 being used during a facial care procedure.
- a disposable eye patch 10 includes a first sheet member 11 and a second sheet member 12 .
- These first and second sheet members are preferably oval in shape, although other shapes, such as a teardrop shape or the like, are also possible. “Oval” in the context of this application includes elliptical, oblong, and egg shapes.
- the first sheet member 11 is preferably made of biocompatible foamed plastic material.
- the second sheet member 12 is also preferably made of biocompatible foamed plastic material.
- the eye patch 10 includes a first adhesive layer 13 on one side of the first sheet member 11 for adhering the eye patch 10 onto the tissue surrounding the patient's eye and for adhering the first sheet member 11 to the second sheet member 12 .
- This first adhesive layer 13 may have a plan view size approximately equal to the plan view size of the first sheet member 11 and is preferably made of a pressure-sensitive adhesive (i.e., it may acquire greater adhesion with an adjacent surface as pressure between that surface and the adhesive is increased), preferably a latex-free and hypoallergenic material.
- the adhesion of the adhesive layer 13 should be strong enough to adhere reliably to the skin but weak enough to be easily removed from the skin after use.
- the eye patch 10 may also include a second adhesive layer 14 between the second sheet member 12 and the first adhesive layer 13 .
- the second adhesive layer 14 is not essential, but improves adhesion of the second sheet member 12 to the first sheet member 11 .
- the second adhesive layer 14 may have a plan view size equal to the plan view size of the second sheet member 12 .
- the second adhesive layer 14 may be made of the same material as the first adhesive layer 13 .
- the first sheet member 11 has a size that sufficiently covers the patient's eye and eyelid when applied. For instance, for an adult patient, the first sheet member 11 preferably has a length of from about 40 mm to about 60 mm, more preferably about 50 mm, and a width from about 20 mm to about 35 mm, more preferably about 28 mm.
- the second sheet member 12 preferably joins the first sheet member 11 at a central portion of the first adhesive layer 13 as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the eye patch 10 Having the above-described length and width allows the eye patch 10 to fit within the eye socket of a patient, and thus maximizes the facial area accessible to a doctor or other professional.
- the part of the eye patch 10 that contacts most of the patient's eyelid is free of exposed adhesive. This is more comfortable to the wearer, and allows the eye and eyelid to slightly move underneath the eye patch 10 .
- the side of the sheet member 12 facing the eye and eyelid is free of adhesive. This also prevents needless pain or discomfort when the eye patch is removed after use.
- a peripheral portion 13 A of the first adhesive layer 13 which is not overlapped by the second sheet member 12 , should be large enough to provide sufficient adhesion of the eye patch 10 to the area of the face surrounding the eye.
- the peripheral portion 13 A may have a width of approximately 5 mm.
- the first sheet member 11 and the second sheet member 12 each preferably have a thickness in a range of from about 0.1 mm to about 5 mm, more preferably from about 0.1 mm to about 2 mm, and even more preferably from 0.5 mm.
- the appropriate thickness may vary depending upon the type of procedure for which the eye patch is intended to be used, but in general, a thinner eye patch is desired to reduce the bulkiness of the eye patch 10 and increase the comfort of the patient.
- an eye patch 10 with a first sheet member 12 with a thickness of about 0.5 mm and a second sheet member 12 with a thickness of about 0.5 mm and effectively protects the eyes.
- the color of the eye patch 10 may be the natural color of the foamed plastic material, such as off-white, cream, or the like, or any other desired color such as beige, gray, black, fluorescent green, etc.
- the peripheral portion 13 A of the adhesive layer 13 may be attached to a release layer 15 , which is removed prior to use of the eye patch 10 .
- the release layer 15 may, for example, be a waxed paper, plastic film or the like.
- the release layer 15 may be a continuous strip provided in the form of a dispenser roll 16 , as shown in FIG. 6 , with eye patches 10 provided at a predetermined spacing.
- This dispenser roll 16 may be provided in a dispenser box (not shown) and fed through a slot or the like provided in the box.
- the release layer 15 may have serrations 15 A in between the eye patches 10 to facilitate separation into discrete units. Providing the release layer 15 and eye patches in the form of the dispenser roll 16 allows convenient dispensing and helps keep the eye patches 10 clean, since the eye patches 10 are not exposed until use.
- the release layer 15 is first peeled off from the disposable eye patch 10 .
- the peripheral portion 13 A of the first adhesive layer 13 is exposed.
- the eye patch 10 is then positioned over the patient's closed eye and eyelid, and the edge of the eye patch 10 is gently pressed to seal the peripheral portion 13 A of the adhesive layer 13 to the facial tissue surrounding the patient's eye and eyelid. After use, the eye patch 10 is gently peeled away from the eye and eyelid.
- FIG. 7 shows an example of a patient 17 wearing the disposable eye patch 10 and tissues around the patient's eye. During this treatment, the tissue areas directly around the patient's eye are exposed and accessible to the doctor or therapist 19 using a tool 18 , while the eye is protected by the eye patch 10 .
- a sheet material having an adhesive layer coated on one side thereof.
- the first sheet member 11 and the second sheet member 12 are formed from the sheet material, e.g., by stamping, cutting or the like. Then the first sheet member 11 and the second sheet member 12 are positioned properly with respect to each other and pressed together, with their adhesive-coated surfaces facing each other and coming into contact. Finally, the eye patch 10 is attached to release layer 15 , with the exposed peripheral portion 13 A of the adhesive on the first sheet member 11 contacting the release layer 15 .
- This method for manufacturing is not limited to the above-described order of steps.
- the second sheet member 12 can be cut first, and then adhered to the sheet material.
- the first sheet member 11 can then be cut in the predetermined shape, thus forming the eye patch 10 .
- the above-mentioned method of manufacturing an eye patch is relatively fast and easy, since it basically involves only one or two cutting steps and a press-together step, and economical since the only materials needed are a single type of adhesive-coated sheet and a release layer material.
