Why Upgrade to the Chattanooga E-2 Unit?

The Chattanooga E-2 stands out because of its operational flexibility. In a busy clinic, you often need different shapes of heat packs—such as spinal or oversized packs—ready at the same time. The E-2’s deeper tank allows for a wider variety of HotPacs to be heated concurrently, ensuring you never have to wait for a specific pack to reach therapeutic temperature between sessions.

Maintenance is designed to be effortless for staff. The unit features an easy-to-clean stainless steel interior and is fully insulated to retain heat, which minimizes energy consumption while keeping the exterior safe to the touch. It provides a reliable, chemical-free, and drug-free method for treating chronic pain and preparing patients for manual therapy or exercise.

As a medical-grade device, the E-2 is UL and cUL listed, ensuring it meets the rigorous safety standards required for hospitals and professional physical therapy environments. It is a long-term investment in patient care and clinical efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does it take to heat a full load of packs?

From a cold start, it takes approximately 2 hours for the water and the bentonite clay packs to reach the optimal therapeutic temperature. Once at temperature, the unit maintains it automatically.

Can this unit handle the 24" Spinal HotPacs?

Yes. The E-2 is designed with a deeper tank than the E-1, making it compatible with larger specialty packs like the 10" x 24" Spinal or the 15" x 24" Oversize packs.

What is the benefit of the stainless steel build?

The high-quality stainless steel prevents corrosion from constant water exposure and is non-porous, making it easy to sanitize and maintain a hygienic clinical environment.
