PREVOR put its system of patented eye washes on the market in order to fulfil various requirements, in particular those related to the principle of emergency washing in the workplace:

• To allow any victim to begin washing alone;
• To allow the victim to correctly open the eye in order to make an effective washing;
• To allow continuous and uniformly distributed washing of the cornea surface.

The possibility of using the Morgan lens had been considered but dismissed, following various tests showing:

• The difficulty of installing the lens in emergency situations, where the intervention time is limited;
• A washing insufficiently uniform to be effective and a reproducible in all cases.

It is for these reasons that PREVOR conceived, developed and patented its own system of a specific eyebath.
