Bag for treating water damaged cell phones

A perforated bag approximately 3 inches by 5 inches containing silica granular beads with an approximate weight of 40 grams. These specifications have proven to be the most effective for most common cell phones. The size and weight can vary based on the size of the device to be treated. This bag is perforated with approximately 250 holes 1/16 inch in diameter; once again the number of perforations will vary if the size of the bag is changed. This system is then enclosed in a Mylar bag specifically designed to dry out water damaged cell phones. The device according to the invention comprises a Mylar Bag (1) which holds the perforated bag containing granular beads (1). This device improves the ability of these beads to draw the moisture from the cell phone therefore drying out the phone allowing it to function again.
