The hot pack has a special tightly-woven flannel 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 flannel to the cooler body tissue. The Thermotech heat pads are very similar to the popular "Thermophore", only more affordable. No water is needed. The Thermotech Hot Pack produces moist heat automatically by drawing moisture from humidity in the air and retaining it in the hot pack's outer flannel cover. Because it delivers very intense moist heat, the Thermotech is more effective than other electric heating pads on the market. Moist heat increases circulation and speeds recovery by bringing in fresh blood cells and taking away wastes which hinder healing. This is known as electric fomentation therapy. The application of moist heat (fomentation) is commonly prescribe by physical therapists chiropractors and doctors. The Thermotech Hot Pack is the method that is most often recommend. A hand held momentary switch, controlled by the user, turns the hot pack on and off, and allows the user to maintain the highest temperature possible. The momentary switch must be held "on" to allow the unit to heat, released while cooling to normal body temperature. This treatment can be so relaxing; often the user may fall asleep. When the pressure switch is released, the unit immediately shuts off. A One Year Full Warranty is provided. The King Pad is recommended for large areas such as the back and spine. |
