Definition
This device type is intended to cleanse the eyelid margins and eyelashes by a healthcare professional.
Physical State
The eyelid cleaning device is a handheld device that spins a soft micro-sponge in the horizontal axis. The handpiece is made out of stainless steel and plastic, and the micro-sponge is composed of polyvinyl alcohol. The handpiece works with a lithium-ion battery and is charged in a plastic charging station. The battery-operated handpiece spins the medical grade micro-sponge (that has been soaked in foam) at 2,500 rpm along the lower and upper eyelid margins and eyelashes. The eyelid cleaning product is used with a commercially available eyelid cleansing foam. The micro-sponge is disposable; one sponge is used to clean each individual eyelid.
Technical Method
The eyelid cleaning device is a device that cleanses the eyelid margins using a medical grade micro-sponge and eyelid cleansing foam. The micro-sponge is applied to the lower and upper eyelid margins and eyelashes to remove debris. A healthcare professional applies firm pressure to the eyelid margin in a variable, scrubbing swirling motion from nasal to temporal and back to the meibomian glands. The procedure lasts about 6-8 minutes and is gentle on the eyelid.
