Why Choose the Chattanooga Neck Contour HotPac?

The Chattanooga Neck Contour HotPac stands out due to its anatomical fit. Unlike flat heating pads that leave air gaps, this pack drapes naturally over the curves of the cervical spine. The moist heat penetrates deeper into the muscle layers than dry heat, making it exceptionally effective for relieving spasms, chronic stiffness, and stress-related tension in the upper trapezius muscles.

Built for the high-demand environment of a busy clinic, the reinforced stitching and heavy-duty canvas are designed to withstand constant submersion in 160°F water. The all-natural bentonite clay filling provides a comforting, heavy pressure that helps the heat reach deeper tissues for a more effective treatment session.

Maintenance is simple. By keeping the pack submerged in a hydrocollator, it remains ready for use throughout the day. The color-coded tabs ensure that staff can easily rotate packs, guaranteeing that every patient receives a pack at the optimal therapeutic temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use this pack without a protective cover?

No. To prevent skin irritation or burns, the HotPac must always be wrapped in a Chattanooga Neck Terry Cover or at least six layers of heavy towels before being applied to the patient.

How do I store the pack if I don't use it every day?

If the pack will not be used for an extended period, it should be placed in a sealed plastic bag and stored in the freezer to prevent the natural clay filling from drying out.

Is this pack microwave safe?

No. These are professional clinical packs designed for hydrocollators. Microwaving will damage the internal clay and the canvas exterior.
