Features
New Four-Stage Therapy Switch provides optimum 20-minute treatments. Simple one-touch control features auto-off timer. Press the pre-set control and relax for a 20-minute therapy cycle.
Because of large size, the Standard Size Thermophore can be applied to larger areas of the body, like the entire back, and over both legs or shoulders. Fleece blend cover included! Our best selling size
Moist heat treatments are more effective than dry heat treatments. This is because moisture transmits heat better than air. The outer fleece blend cover of the Thermophore Hot Pack draws humidity from the air and retains it. Once the heat is turned on, the moisture is forced out of the fleece blend and onto the treated area.
There is no water to boil, no sponge. No scalded fingers, no towels and no need to rely on others to administer treatments
Moist heat stimulates tissue activity with deep, penetrating heat and temporary pain relief results in a matter of minutes
Product Description
Thermophore Moist Heat Pack Units are one of the most popular sources of therapeutic heat in the home. Recommended for Arthritis or Rheumatism, TMJ, Chronic back or neck pain, Fibromyalgia, Muscle spasms, Sports injuries (after the acute phase), Strained muscles or ligament. The Thermophore Moist Heat Pack, designed and manufactured in the US, 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 he dangerous to the patient.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
The heating pad really works well and the moist heat penetrates deep! It feels great to be able to just relax and not have to worry about the timer also as this unit has the 20 minute cycle and will shutoff if you do not reset the cycle again. The processing and delivery of the product was excellent as Isokinetics was able to give me the Fedex tracking info when I called and they delivered it that day! Thanks Amazon, my back thanks you too!
