SELF-HEATING BANDS
VERSATILE
Description
Soft and comfortable band of material with special patented cells containing natural components (iron, carbon, salt and water) which develop heat when in contact with oxygen in the air.
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.
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. Remove the protective paper to expose the adhesive side. Place on the painful area and press the adhesive side firmly onto the skin. Be careful not to overlap the cells during application. Do not use on the face, head, breasts, inner arms, armpits, fingers, lower abdomen, groin, inner knees, feet, or toes. If you are over 55, wear ThermaCare over a thin piece of clothing (or fabric), not in direct contact with your skin. For maximum effectiveness, wear ThermaCare for 8 hours.
The product can be disposed of hot or cold in normal household waste.
