The ORTOLUX Product Line
The products you listed fall under the ORTOLUX brand, which consists of sterile, ergonomically contoured, self-adhesive eye shields. The key feature is a transparent, unbreakable plastic chamber (or “bubble”) that protects the eye while allowing vision and inspection.
Purpose:
They are used for mechanical protection and to create a moisture chamber to prevent the cornea from drying out after injuries, surgeries (like cataract or LASIK), or in cases where the eye cannot fully close (lagophthalmos, Bell’s Palsy).
Materials:
They use a latex-free, hypoallergenic hot-melt adhesive that is gentle on the skin.
Variants:
ORTOLUX (standard):
A closed chamber design to maintain a moist environment.
ORTOLUX AIR:
Features small peripheral perforations/side holes for comfortable ventilation of the eye without reducing the visual field.
Sizing:
The products are available in different sizes, such as small (approx. 96 x 67 mm) and large (approx. 113 x 80 mm) to ensure a proper fit for adults and children.
