BT-077. The Battle Creek Thermophore® Moist Heating Pad / Pack electric fomentation unit was developed to conveniently provide intense moist heat treatments whenever moist heat is needed. 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. 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.

Intense, moist heat with the added convenience of a pre-set switch, so hands are free to continue activities during therapy. Specially blended cover is washable and non-shedding. Size range covers petite (4"x17") ideal for the neck to standard/large with a generous size (14"x27") that covers entire spine, both shoulders or the length of a leg - making this the most popular size. The very popular "muff" size features a cylinder that wraps arms and provides treatment to wrists and hands as well. New 4-Stage therapy switch provides optimum 20-minute treatments. Fleece blend flannel cover included.
