The Battle Creek Thermophore ® Moist Heating Pad / Pack electric
fomentation unit was developed to conveniently provide moist fomentation
treatments whenever moist heat is indicted. The Thermophore Hot Pack has a
special tightly-woven fleece blend cover which retains moisture from the air.
When the unit is turned on, the surge of heat into the cover moves the moisture
from the heated fleece blend to the cooler body tissue.
The most effective way to use moist heat is by applying a short treatment at a
high temperature, then allowing the body to return to normal temperature, and
then repeating the process.
These treatments are very relaxing and the user may fall asleep. If this occurs,
the momentary switch snaps off as the user's finger relaxes and the unit
immediately cools down, preventing burns.The momentary switch is the safest
way to deliver high temperature. High temperature and moisture is what
makes the Thermophore Hot Pack effective. Penetrating moist heat dilates the
blood vessels, increasing circulation and creating blood flow. This takes away
waste and toxins which may have settled in the injured area and brings new
healing blood cells to the tissue.Moist heat therapy is a means to temporarily
relieve pain derived from arthritis, bursitis, back aches and muscle spasms.
This product also aids in the treatment of colds with congestion and sinus
conditions.
Many women find monthly cramps can be lessened with the use of a
Thermophore unit placed across their abdomen.
