Thermophore Moist Heating Pads - Manual Safety Switch - Standard Size - 14 x 27


Best Price: $76.95

Product 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)
  • Because of large size, the Standard Size Thermophore can be applied to larger areas of the body, like the entire back, and over both legs or shoulders. Fleece blend cover included! Our best selling size
  • 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

John Edward Trtek Said: Better than what I had ( Nov. 16th 2009 )
I have chronic upper back and neck pain. This product, so far works the best for me. I like being able to control the temperature, but I do not like the time restriction (from 1 to 60 minute max) on the controls...when the time runs out the thing turns off and you have to reset it again if you want to use it longer.
Trevor Goodchild Said: Great heating pad ( Nov. 16th 2009 )
This thing gets hot quickly and is just what my achy back needed. Some people have complained about the safety switch -- you have to hold it down to get heat, but I think this is a great feature. I have fallen asleep twice on other heating pads and received burns -- so I think their switch is a wonderful idea.
C. B. Congdon Said: Amazing ( Nov. 14th 2009 )
The Thermophor heating pad is truling amazing. It provides deep, moist heat without the mess of soak and heat pads. It does everything it claims to do. The fleece cover takes moisture from the air and when you use it, the treatment area gets wet, but the cover feels dry to the touch. When the air in the house is particularly dry, we hang in on a towel rack in the bathroom during a shower and that does the trick. How did they do that?! The heat is so intense that you can feel your muscles 'pop' as they release. We had to buy a second, because my husband and I were wrestling each other over our first one! I highly recommend this product.
Dana D. Murphy Said: Excellent value ( Nov. 8th 2009 )
I was a little put off by the price, but very tired of buying cheap, drugstore pads that burned out with constant use. Once I plugged this in, however, the intense heat reminded me of why I needed a good one in the first place. The pain relief is amazing. It takes a few tries to get the hang of the control (I just hold it in place with the back of my knee) but it's a small trade off for the almost instant relief. I'd have given it 5 stars, but like all the others, it's hard to use on my neck.
Theodore E. Millard Said: Better than before ( Nov. 2nd 2009 )
My wife replaced a much older Thermophore Moist Heating Pad with this new version and she likes it better than the older one that wore out after more than 20 years - it is larger than the older version and the pad and cover are more substantion - this is our second one in over 20 years and we are very pleased with it. The seller did everything in a speedy way.
