Thermophore® Automatic Moist Heat Pack General Product Description |
The most effective way to use moist heat is by applying a short treatment at a high temperature, then allowing the body to return to normal temperature, and then repeating the process. These treatments are very relaxing and the user may fall asleep. If this occurs, the momentary switch snaps off as the user’s finger relaxes and the unit immediately cools down, preventing burns.
The momentary switch is the safest way to deliver high temperature. High temperature and moisture is what makes the Thermophore Hot Pack effective. Penetrating moist heat dilates the blood vessels, increasing circulation and creating blood flow. This takes away waste and toxins which may have settled in the injured area and brings new healing blood cells to the tissue.

Moist heat therapy is a means to temporarily relieve pain derived from arthritis, bursitis, back aches and muscle spasms. This product also aids in the treatment of colds with congestion and sinus conditions. Many women find monthly cramps can be lessened with the use of a Thermophore unit placed across their abdomen. |

FLEECE BLEND COVER
The Thermophore Hot Pack has a special tightly-woven fleece blend cover which retains moisture from the air. When the unit is turned on, the surge of heat into the cover moves the moisture from the heated fleece blend to the cooler body tissue. The most effective way to use moist heat is by applying a short treatment at a high temperature, then allowing the body to return to normal temperature, and then repeating the process.
STUPE COVER
NEW, non-shrinkable "flannel" cover, made of cotton/fleece. The Stupe Cover fits over the Thermophore Pack like the flannel cover does, but is designed so moisture can be added in the form of a damp cloth. The heating unit is protected by a rubberized cover and the damp cloth is placed in a separate sleeve. The Stupe Cover will enable your Thermophore Pack to operate at its peak efficiency, independent of atmospheric moisture conditions.

THERMOPHORE HOT PACK FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The Thermophore Automatic Moist Heat Pack, designed and manufactured in
the U.S., is usually compared to the standard heating pad sold in the pharmacy
for $20.00 or less. Most patients, and even some medical professionals, are not
aware that the Thermophore Pack reaches a much higher temperature and
automatically produces moist heat without adding water. The Thermophore Pack is
actually considered a medical device.
The Thermophore Pack delivers consistent moist heat, which is applied and controlled by the patient for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Microwave products and boiled products do not deliver a consistent, controlled temperature, and may be dangerous to the patient.
