Features:
- 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

4" x 17"
Designed for the neck, sinus or TMJ area, our Petite Thermophore® pack is also wonderful for applying moist heat therapy to specific joints - such as the elbow, knee or ankle. The 17" x 4" unit with a long Velcro® fastener allows adjustment for a snug fit on any small area.
14" x 14"
The 14" x 14" size is specifically designed for smaller areas such as a shoulder, knee or part of the abdomen.
14" x 27"
Our largest size is a generous 14" x 27" unit - nearly twice the size of most standard heating pads. Finally, a product that provides an area of heat therapy large enough to cover the entire spinal area, the length of a hip and leg or all across both shoulders, to effectively relieve pain and relax all the associated muscles - not just one small, isolated point.
8" x 17"
Our Thermophore® Muff was created to surround sore, aching hands with comforting moist heat. Just turn it on, tuck your hands inside and relax, as the soothing heat begins to relieve your pain. Although the 17" long x 8" diameter tube design was intended for hands, it is also very simple to slide the Thermophore® Muff over an elbow, knee, ankle or foot, since adjustable Velcro® fasteners provide positioning flexibility to surround painful joints.
