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.
Moist heat increases circulation and speeds recovery by bringing
in fresh blood cells and taking away the wastes which may hinder healing.
The application of moist heat 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.
The Thermophore 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. The rapid heat rise occurring when the hot pack is turned
on
forces the moisture out of the flannel onto the patient's skin,
speeding
temporary relief to the treated area.
The Thermophore Hot Pack is more effective than other electric heating
pads on the market because it delivers very intense, moist heat. The
temperature of the hot pack is controlled by the patient to maintain
the highest temperature possible.
A hand-held momentary switch, controlled by the patient, turns the
hot pack
on and off, and allows the user to maintain the
highest temperature
possible.
