Thermophore Moist Heating Pads are one of the most popular sources of therapeutic heat in the home. These hot packs are moist, safe and convenient. Available in 4 sizes. Moist heat is more effective than dry heat because moisture transmits heat better than air. The Thermophore Heating Pad has an outer fleece blend cover that draws humidity from the air and retains it. Then when the heat is turned on, the moisture is forced out of the fleece blend and onto the treated area. Thermophore Classic - Moist Heating Pad Manual Switch features a special "ON" switch to give you complete control of the high temperature to tolerance. Should you fall asleep, your grip on the switch relaxes and the heat automatically turns off. This is to ensure that you don't fall asleep with the unit on - to prevent burning. This is a conveniently do-it-yourself treatment. Simply rest in a comfortable position, place the Thermophore Heating Pad directly on the skin, build up heat quickly, and maintain it as high as you are able to tolerate for 15-30 minutes. Inexpensive, Thermophore Heating Pads cost less than many medications and last for years of treatments.
