Abstract
A method of providing moisture therapy to a subject by applying a moist therapy compress against a treated body portion. The moist therapy compress includes a fluid-permeable shell, a flexible backing fastened to the shell to define an enclosure, and a hydrophilic zeolite fill granules loosely contained within the enclosure. The therapy compress is exposed to a source of moisture to cause absorption of water into the a hydrophilic zeolite, and the moisture is delivered from the hydrophilic zeolite through the fluid permeable shell to the treated body portion.
Claims19
An article for use as an antimicrobial wound dressing and compress for moist heat therapy of a treated body part of a patient, the article comprising:
- a shell for application to the treated body part of the patient, the shell forming at least one enclosure comprising a shape and size configured to rest in an eye hollow of a human face;
- and
- a plurality of fill granules loosely contained within the at least one enclosure for delivering the moist heat therapy from the fill granules to the treated body part of the patient, the fill granules comprising hydrophilic zeolite molecular sieve particles comprising at most twenty percent weight content of silver.
An article for use as an antimicrobial wound dressing and compress for moist heat therapy of a treated body part of a patient, the article comprising:
- a flexible backing;
- a shell for application to the treated body part of the patient, the shell being attached to the flexible backing to form at least one enclosure comprising a shape and size configured to rest in an eye hollow of a human face;
- and
- a plurality of fill granules loosely contained within the at least one enclosure for delivering the moist heat therapy from the fill granules to the treated body part of the patient, the fill granules comprising loaded zeolite and unloaded zeolite molecular sieve particles.
An article for use as an antimicrobial wound dressing and compress for moist heat therapy of a treated body part of a patient, the article comprising:
- a flexible backing;
- a shell for application to the treated body part of the patient, the shell being releasably attached to the flexible backing to form at least one enclosure comprising a shape and size configured to rest in an eye hollow of a human face;
- and
- a plurality of fill granules loosely contained within the at least one enclosure for delivering the moist heat therapy from the fill granules to the treated body part of the patient, the fill granules comprising hydrophilic zeolite molecular sieve particles comprising at most twenty percent weight content of silver attained by ion-exchange.
