Device and method for exothermic treatment of eyelid diseases
First Claim
1. A pad for treating eye conditions comprising:
- a multipart container having an impermeable outer membrane sized to fit generally within the peri orbital region and sufficiently flexible to mold to the eye;
a first chemical in a first storage area in the multipart container;
a second chemical in a second storage area in the multipart container, the first and second chemicals selected to have an exothermic reaction when mixed for producing a temperature suitable for treating eye conditions, the exothermic reaction providing the suitable temperature for a period of time suitable for treating eye conditions; and
an inner membrane for initially separating the first and second chemicals, the inner membrane being renderable permeable, without penetration of the impermeable outer membrane, to permit mixing the first and second chemicals to cause the exothermic reaction.

Abstract
Provided herein is a pad for treating eye conditions comprising a multipart container having an impermeable outer membrane sized to fit generally within the peri-orbital region and sufficiently flexible to mold to the eye; a first chemical in a first storage area in the multipart container; a second chemical in a second storage area in the multipart container, the first and second chemicals selected to have an exothermic reaction when mixed for producing a temperature suitable for treating eye conditions, the exothermic reaction providing the suitable temperature for a period of time suitable for treating eye conditions; and an inner membrane for initially separating the first and second chemicals, the inner membrane being renderable permeable, without causing the impermeable outer membrane to become permeable, to permit mixing the first and second chemicals to cause the exothermic reaction. This multipart container is covered with a soft, non-abrasive, lint-free material which is presoaked in a pH controlled antibacterial soap with or without an antibiotic.
