SELF-HEATING BANDS
FOR BACK PAIN
Description
A soft and comfortable bandage made of special patented cells containing natural ingredients (iron, carbon, salt, and water) that generate heat when exposed to oxygen. When applied for 8 hours, ThermaCare's constant heat provides long-lasting pain relief for up to 16 hours.
Prolonged heat, at a constant temperature, increases blood circulation in the tissues, producing pain-relieving effects and relaxing the muscles, as:
• brings more oxygen to damaged tissues, helping the muscle to return to a state of well-being;
• stimulates the nerve endings, sensitive to temperature, interrupting the transmission of pain and thus promoting muscle relaxation.
Effective and targeted against muscle and joint pain due to fatigue and muscle tension, sprains, strains and arthritis.
Suitable for chronic and occasional pain.
It acts directly on the point of pain.
It does not contain any drugs.
It's easy to use, comfortable to wear, thin, discreet, and odorless. Disposable.
It has one size fits all for men and women.
Clinically proven to relax tense muscles.
How to use
Open the pouch when ready to use. ThermaCare may take up to 30 minutes to reach its therapeutic temperature. Place it on the painful area with the darker side of the cells facing the skin and fasten the strap. For those over 55, wear ThermaCare over a thin piece of clothing (fabric), away from the skin. For maximum effectiveness, we recommend wearing ThermaCare for 8 hours.
The product can be disposed of hot or cold in normal household waste.
Warnings
Do not use if:
• if the contents of the cells leak and/or the band is damaged;
• with medicated creams or ointments, plasters or other heat sources;
• on scratched or grazed skin;
• on bruises and swelling that appeared in the last 48 hours;
• on areas of the body insensitive to heat;

This product may cause burns. To reduce the risk:
• Check skin periodically for signs of irritation or burns and discontinue use immediately if any are found.
• If you experience excessive heat, discontinue use or wear ThermaCare over clothing, not in direct contact with your skin.
• Over the age of 55, the risk of sunburn increases with age, wear ThermaCare over an item of clothing and do not use the band while sleeping.
• To avoid an increased risk of burns, remove the product before undergoing MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans.

Discontinue use and consult a doctor if you notice any discomfort, irritation, burning, swelling, redness, or any other persistent changes to the skin in the area where you used the product, or if the pain increases or remains unchanged after 7 days.
The heat-generating cells contain iron (approximately 2 grams). If iron comes into direct contact with skin or eyes, remove the band, rinse thoroughly with water, and consult a doctor immediately. If accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Avoid heating the product in any way (e.g. microwave) or attempting to heat it, as the band may catch fire.
