Thermophore ® produces
intense, moist heat for faster relief.
The application of moist heat
is a commonly prescribed therapy in medical practice today, and the
Thermophore Hot Pack is the method physicians' recommend most often.
Moist heat increases circulation and speeds recovery by bringing in
fresh blood cells and taking away the wastes, which may hinder healing.
These beneficial results continue for several hours after treatment.
The application of moist heat, known as fomentation, is especially
useful in treating back pain caused by muscle spasms from strain and
tension. The Thermophore Hot Pack, and rest, will gradually relax the
muscle in spasm, restoring its normal length and relieving pain. The
moisture produced by the Thermophore Hot Pack transfers the high heat
deeper into tissues than an ordinary dry heat pad.
Arthritic and rheumatic pain is often temporarily relieved with the use
of moist heat. The increased blood flow can relieve the inflamed joints
and help maintain flexibility.
No water needed.
Thermophore produces its own moisture.
The Thermophore Hot Pack produces moist heat
automatically by drawing moisture from humidity in the air and retaining
it in the hot pack's outer fleece blend cover. The rapid heat rise
occurring when the hot pack is turned on forces the moisture out of the
fleece blend onto the patient's skin, speeding temporary relief to the
treated area.
Intense, moist heat
makes Thermophore better.
The Thermophore Hot Pack is more effective than
other electric heating pads on the market because it delivers very
intense, moist heat. The patient to maintain the highest temperature
possible controls the temperature of the hot pack.
Momentary switch
for better heat control.
A hand-held momentary switch, turns
the hot pack on and off, and allows the user to maintain the highest
temperature possible.
When to use the
Thermophore Hot Pack.
Thermophore Hot
Packs should be used at the first sign of muscle spasm or joint pain. A
Thermophore Hot Pack treatment is especially useful to help temporarily
relieve pain caused by muscle spasm or inflammation after a day of
recreation, gardening, jogging or household chores.
CAUTION:
Use your
Thermophore Hot Pack carefully. It may cause serious burns. Do not use
on sensitive skin or on a person who has poor circulation. Persons with
diabetes should be especially careful applying heat. Children and those
who are incapacitated should be supervised in their use of the
Thermophore Hot Pack and should not be left unattended.
