A "Simple" Solution Backed by Science
Bruder has taken moist heat treatment to a whole new level of effectiveness with patented MediBeads® Technology used in many Bruder products.
Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress is more than a product — it’s a treatment protocol recommended by eye care professionals to deliver results.
The Bruder Mask with MediBeads technology is recommended for mild, moderate or severe eye issues, as well as preventative maintenance for overall eye health.
Not all compresses are created equal
Sure, there are other compress options on the market but to put it plainly, the Bruder compress is better. But don’t take our word for, let’s look at the science of our innovative and clinically tested Patented MediBeads Technology.
Accept No Substitutes
The innovative and clinically tested MediBeads® technology is anatural and proven way to bring relief to people suffering from:
Dry Eye Disease, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), Blepharitis, Chalazions, and Styes

The Bruder Moist Heat Eye CompressContains Patented MediBeads®
MediBeads® are silver-infused. Incorporating silver into the bead
structure ensures pure, clean, moist heat with every use, helping to
repel bacteria and keep eyelids clean. The compress also effectively
withstands the rigors of daily use and regular cleaning — the beads
will not break down or lose efficacy like other compresses that contain
silica gel beads, gel, or grains.
Only MediBeads absorb moisture into the center of the bead,
resulting in even, extended moist heat. In other compresses, moisture
sits on the surface, where it quickly evaporates, causing dry, uneven
heat and dangerous hot spots.

We’re looking at more of an understanding that dry eye is a progressive disease and there’s a need to treat it at an earlier stage.

I recommended the Bruder Mask to all my patients with MGD. Moist heat adds moisture to the ocular surface, maintains pliability of the meibum to achieve and improved lipid layer on the tear film, and extends the benefits Lipiflow or IPL treatments.

Design Matters
Unlike “one-size fits all” eye compress models. that do not truly fit anyone, the Bruder Mask has been designed with two-pods to provide superior comfort and fit.
Pods fit over the eye socket, not onto the forehead and cheeks, to concentrate the warmth where it is needed most – your eyelids!

Clinically Proven
Moist Heat
Makes a Difference
Moist and dry heat are both common superficial heat therapytreatments. However, moist heat provides deeper tissue penetration atthe same temperatures, thoroughly liquefying sebum and offeringgreater relief from DED, MGD and blepharitis symptoms. No othercompress provides the same clinically proven levels of extended moistheat as the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress. The Bruder Compresscontains MediBeads®, which naturally retain moisture that is releasedwhen the compress is warmed for 20 seconds in the microwave.
Extended Heat
is Essential
Studies have proven that meibomian secretions melt at 32 – 45°C (89.6 – 113°F). It takes up to 8 minutes for heat to fully penetrate the tarsal plates and reach 40°C at the inner eyelid. The Bruder Compress
effectively achieves this target by providing moist, uniform heat that maintains extended warmth for the entire 8 – 10 minute treatment.
Tear Film Break-up Time
is Improved
Findings of greater tear film stability and increased tear film lipid layer thickness in patients with MGD following warm compress treatment have been well supported by studies. Furthermore, a 2018 study by
the School of Optometry and Vision Science, UNSW Sydney, Australia shows improvements in tear break up time (NIKBU), Tear Meniscus height (TMH) and Tear film lipid layer thickness (TFLLT), specifically
with the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress.
