| 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 |

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.

Excellent Heating Pad July 11, 2010
Maureen (Jonesborough, TN)
This heating pad works great. It provides a moist even heat. The safety switch is great so you can control whether it is on or off so you don't get too much heat.
Not your usual heat pack in the drug store July 7, 2010

This one is super! We went through 2 other heat packs bought from drug stores, but this one really works the best. It really deliver heat where you need it the most. The price is right for the quality. I think I will get another one in the future.
BEST there is June 22, 2010

after using a number of the chinese brands which all failed after just a few months, i went ahead and spent more than i wanted too - but it turned out to be the best bargain.
it works great, fast, very warm, helps my back, very well made, worth every penny. no complaints. A-1 !!!
Great heating pad! May 12, 2010
S. Mullins (VA)
I purchased this heating pad after I purchased a Moist Heating Pads - TheraTherm - Digital - Rectangular Blanket - 14" x 27heating pad. I wanted to compare the two. I love both of them but each has their use. I recently was involved in a car accident and the Thermophore was the one I reached for the most often. It gets REALLY hot and it eased the pain in my back. I couldn't keep the trigger down for more than a minute or so before I had to release because of it getting so hot. My physical therapist said that the cycle of hot then warm would help my back loosen up. It did. I would recommend the Thermophore for those with injuries or sprained muscles. I would recommend the TheraTherm for everyday use and those with sensitive/thin skin or Diabetes.
excellent investment May 11, 2010
Kimberly A. Winnowski
I purchased this heating pad because I have a job where I'm on my feet for 8+ hours a day, this has truly been a god send. One of those items that is very expensive however, glad you invested. Amazon was also half the price of the stores in my area.
