The Medium Moist Heat Pad (14”x18”)
The Medium Pad is recommended for areas such as the arm, shoulder, elbow, and back.

- Moist heat increases circulation and speeds recovery by bringing in fresh blood cells and taking away the wastes which may hinder healing
- The moisture produced by the Thermotech Hot Pack transfers the high heat deeper into tissues than an ordinary dry heat pad
- A convenient hand-held momentary switch, allows the user to maintain the highest temperature possible
- No water needed - produces its own moisture
- Draws moisture from humidity in the air and retains it in the hot pack's outer flannel cover. The rapid heat rise, occurring when the hot pack is turned on, forces the moisture out of the flannel onto the skin, speeding temporary relief to the treated area
- Temporarily relieves arthritic and rheumatic pain
- The increased blood flow can relieve the inflamed joints and help maintain flexibility
- Relieves pain caused by muscle spasms
- Rest and the Thermotech Hot Pack will gradually relax the muscle spasm, restoring its normal length and relieving pain.
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 Thermophore 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.
