Abstract
A method of providing moisture therapy to a subject by applying a moist therapy compress against a treated body portion. The moist therapy compress includes a fluid-permeable shell, a flexible backing fastened to the shell to define an enclosure, and silver-retaining hydrophilic zeolite fill granules loosely contained within the enclosure. The therapy compress is exposed to a source of moisture to cause absorption of water into the silver-retaining hydrophilic zeolite, and the moisture is delivered from the silver-retaining hydrophilic zeolite through the fluid permeable shell to the treated body portion.
