Thermophore Automatic Moist Heat Pack Medium

The application of moist heat-fomentation-is a commonly prescribed therapy in medical practice today. The body responds to moist heat by dilating the blood vessels, increasing the blood flow to the area under treatment. This increased circulation speeds recovery by bringing in fresh blood cells and taking away the wastes which may hinder healing.

This hot pack is more effective than other electric heating pads on the market because it delivers very intense moist heat. Moist heat is especially useful in treating pain caused by muscle spasms from strain and tension. The hot pack, and rest, will gradually relax the muscle in spasm, restoring its normal length and relieving pain.

• The temperature of the hot pack is controlled by a momentary switch that can be turned off and on to maintain the highest temperature possible

• Keep area warm after a treatment so that the muscles do not tighten from too-rapid cool down
