What We Do
We design, manufacture and sell patient eye protection for use on patients in operating theatres (operating rooms) in
Hospitals and clinics throughout UK and Europe.
Our Company is Called Medical Devices Ltd
Our Ideas & Additional Information
We would like a pictorial mark which conveys safe eyes, improved patient care, improved eye protection at lower costs through clever innovation.
1# the eye protectors are designed to be used by patients with a range if nose widths, from narrow nose bridges up to wide nose bridges, by cleverly turning the eye protectors through 180 degrees it fits both types of noses. One of the cut outs for the nose is narrow and the other on the opposite side is wide.
2# the curved shape of the patient's face causes the protector lense to also curve and as it is curved and placed over and around the eyes, this curving makes the lenses stronger and safer.
3# the shape and positioning of the foam around the eyes, allows the medical grade adhesive to attach the foam to the patient’s skin and importantly prevents from attaching itself to the patient's eyebrows. In competitor products the adhesive attaches the foam to their eyebrows and often causes pain to the patient, when removing the eye protectors as the adhesive pulls on the eyebrows. Patients who have had chemotherapy have reported that the adhesive can even remove their eyebrows.
4# we provide three sizes, small, medium and large, a greater range than our competitors
The designer's daughter of the eye protectors has suggested that we print a butterfly's body on the see through packaging between each oval shape of the eye protectors (see drawing of the eye protectors below), which represent the butterfly's wings.
We are developing more products for the lean times now faced in the hospital sector to accommodate reducing health budgets
- We manufacture many of our products in the UK, which enables us to monitor production and ensure high quality levels
- Helping us to offer better value for money than that of our competitors.
We would like the word Safe-Eyes to be prominent; the idea is that hospital staff will refer to our products as "the Safe Eyes" or "Butterfly eye protectors"
