In association with Amazon.com


from: Battle Creek






Binding: Health and Beauty
Brand: Thermophore
Label: Battle Creek
Manufacturer: Battle Creek
Publisher: Battle Creek
Studio: Battle Creek



Features:
  • The Manual "on" switch makes the Thermophore Hot Pack safe. The switch allows you complete control of the temperature. It has a feather-light touch for those with arthritic hands, and should you fall asleep, your grip on the switch relaxes and the heat automatically turns off. Also available with an automatic switch (Thermophore Arthritis Pad)
  • Recommended for Arthritis or Rheumatism, TMJ, Chronic back or neck pain, Fibromyalgia, Muscle spasms, Sports injuries (after the acute phase), Strained muscles or ligament
  • Moist heat treatments are more effective than dry heat treatments. This is because moisture transmits heat better than air. The outer fleece blend cover of the Thermophore Hot Pack draws humidity from the air and retains it. Once the heat is turned on, the moisture is forced out of the fleece blend and onto the treated area.
  • There is no water to boil, no sponge. No scalded fingers, no towels and no need to rely on others to help administer treatments
  • Moist heat stimulates tissue activity with deep, penetrating heat and temporary pain relief results in a matter of minutes

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Thermophore Moist Heat Pack Units are one of the most popular sources of therapeutic heat in the home. The Thermophore Moist Heat Pack, designed and manufactured in the US, is usually compared to the standard heating pad sold in the pharmacy for $20.00 or less. Most patients, and even some medical professionals, are not aware that the Thermophore Pack reaches a much higher temperature and automatically produces moist heat without adding water. The Thermophore Pack is actually considered a medical device. The Thermophore Pack delivers consistent moist heat, which is applied and controlled by the patient for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Microwave products and boiled products do not deliver a consistent, controlled temperature, and may he dangerous to the patient.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Really reduces muscle pain!
This is the best moist heating pad ever, and the second one I've purchased. The first one lasted over 20 years, and I literally wore it out. I chose the pad with the manual safety switch, as I had before. You have to be really careful that you don't get it too hot, or you could get a burn or blister, so the pad would not be good for a person with poor circulation or diabetes, otherwise, it is fantastic. Wonderful for muscle muscle pain. Thank you



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Heats fast
Caution this can get hot if held for more than about 3 minutes. Works perfect for me. I like it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good basic heating pad
This is the second pad I've owned in 20 years. Thermaphore pads just go forever. This is basic model; you press the trigger and it gets hot. It's comfortable and the manual safety switch prevents the pad from heating if you fall asleep. Not much in the way of heating controls, and no organic/microwave features. If you want those, this is not the right pad for you. My wife has back problems and this is the only pad she likes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic
I've been looking for a heating pad that would actually get hot enough to do some good, after waisting my money on several of them that claimed to be the best I finally found one. Thermophore Moist Heating Pad is absolutely the best I've every used. I just wish they would make one that gets this hot in an automatic version.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product
Definitely much better than any other heating pad I have used as nothing is able to match this amount of heat. I'm not fond of the manual switch and I use a small strap to keep the switch down.
