Hospitech Sterile Non Adhesive Eye Pad – (6x8cm)

Hospitech Sterile Non Adhesive Eye Pad (6x8cm) is a soft, single-use eye covering made from a layered non-woven fabric outer surface with an absorbent cotton core, finished in a sterile, individually sealed format. Each pad measures 6cm by 8cm, a size intended to comfortably cover the eye and surrounding orbital area for adults, and packs are commonly supplied with 50 pads per box for home first-aid kits, clinics, and pharmacy dispensing.

As a non-adhesive pad, it does not carry its own sticky border or adhesive coating, and is instead intended to be secured in place with separate surgical tape, a bandage, or an eye shield as directed by a healthcare professional. It is sold as a general medical consumable in Malaysia rather than as a medicine, and does not require a prescription. Its non-woven, hypoallergenic construction distinguishes it from adhesive eye patches, since it is designed to be removed without pulling on the eyelid skin or eyelashes.

The pad is built from two functional layers. The outer layer is a smooth, non-woven synthetic fabric that does not contain adhesive, so it does not bond to skin, eyelashes, or any wound surface it is placed against. Underneath this outer layer sits a core of absorbent cotton fibres arranged to create fine capillary spaces; these spaces draw in and hold any fluid, tears, or discharge that contacts the pad through capillary action, keeping the surface from becoming saturated too quickly.

Because the whole pad is manufactured and packed under sterile conditions and sealed in an individual wrapper, the pad remains free of microbial contamination until the pack is opened, at which point it should be used promptly. The combination of a non-stick outer layer and an absorbent inner core is a standard construction principle shared with other non-adhesive wound and eye dressings.

Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling the pad. Check that the individual pack is intact and not damaged, and check the expiry date printed on the pack before opening. Open the sterile pack carefully along the indicated tear edge, taking care to touch only the outer edges of the pad and not the surface that will sit against the eye area.

Position the pad over the closed eye and surrounding area as directed by a doctor, pharmacist, or the product instructions, then secure it in place using separate surgical tape, a bandage, or an eye shield. Replace the pad with a fresh one at each scheduled change, and dispose of the used pad after each single use — do not reuse a pad once it has been removed, and do not share an opened pad between different people.

Not applicable — this is a medical device/consumable, not a medicine requiring dosing.

Refer to the expiry date printed on the individual pad wrapper and on the outer carton, and do not use any pad beyond this date. Once a pad’s individual seal has been opened, it should be used promptly and not stored for later use, as sterility cannot be guaranteed once the pack is broken.

Store unopened pads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, and keep each individual pouch sealed until you are ready to use it. Keep the box out of reach of children, and avoid storing pads in a bathroom or other area with high moisture, as this can affect the packaging seal over time.

• Common: mild, temporary skin irritation or redness around the eye area, most often caused by the adhesive tape used to secure the pad rather than the pad material itself.
• Serious: signs of a true allergic reaction such as spreading redness, swelling, itching, blistering, or rash — remove the pad and any adhesive immediately and seek medical advice if this occurs.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to non-woven fabric, cotton fibres, or the surgical adhesive tape typically used to secure this type of pad.
• Do not apply directly over broken, actively bleeding, or infected eyelid skin without prior assessment and instruction from a doctor or pharmacist.

• Not applicable — this is a medical device, not a medicine, and does not interact with other medicines, supplements, or food when used as directed.

• Check the expiry date on both the pack and outer carton before use.
• Open the individual pouch only immediately before you are ready to apply the pad, to keep it sterile for as long as possible.
• Handle the pad by its outer edges only, avoiding contact with the centre surface.
• Use one fresh pad per application and per eye — never reuse a pad that has already been worn.
• Store the box in a cool, dry cupboard away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Dispose of used pads in household waste after each use, following your local waste guidance.

Precautions: When used for a young child, an elderly person, or anyone who cannot reposition the pad themselves, application should be supervised by a caregiver or carried out by a healthcare professional. This pad is intended as a simple protective covering and is not a substitute for professional wound assessment, particularly after eye surgery or injury, or for prolonged repeated use without guidance.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Speak to a doctor or pharmacist if the eye area shows increasing redness, swelling, discharge, or pain, if vision changes are noticed, or if you are unsure how to apply the pad correctly over a surgical site or injury. Prompt medical review is important for any eye-related concern rather than relying on the pad alone.
