Thermophore Classic Plus Moist Heat Packs

The Thermophore Classic Plus series is the gold standard in clinical moist heat therapy. Engineered to reach much higher temperatures than standard retail pads, these units produce a deep-penetrating moist heat that increases blood flow and relaxes muscle spasms. The moisture is drawn naturally from the ambient humidity in the air by the professional-grade flannel cover, driving therapeutic relief deep into the joints and soft tissue without the mess of sponges or water.

Choose Your Targeted Relief Size

Each Thermophore Classic Plus model features the signature "momentary" safety switch, putting you in total control of the heat intensity. Simply hold the button to increase the temperature and release it once you reach your desired comfort level.

• Standard ($14" \times 27"$): Ideal for the full back, spinal column, or wrapping around the hip. Covers the largest surface area for maximum relief.
• Medium ($14" \times 14"$): A versatile square footprint perfect for the lower back, shoulder, or knee.
• Petite ($4" \times 17"$): Designed specifically for smaller extremities like the wrist, ankle, or for use on a child.
• Cervical ($7" \times 20"$): Contoured to wrap around the neck and throat area, providing targeted relief for tension headaches and cervical strain.

The Thermophore Advantage

Physicians and physical therapists have recommended Thermophore for decades because of its ability to deliver intense moist heat. Moist heat is significantly more effective than dry heat at reaching deep-seated pain. Because these pads are designed to provide professional-strength temperatures (reaching up to $165^\circ\text{F}$), the manual switch acts as a critical safety feature, ensuring the unit only stays on while you are actively holding the control.

Whether you are managing Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, or acute muscle strains, there is a Thermophore size designed to fit your body perfectly. The high-quality flannel cover is not only comfortable against the skin but also acts as the engine for the moisture-drawing technology that sets Thermophore apart from the competition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which model has the "dead-man" switch?

The Classic Plus series features the momentary (manual) switch. This is the model where you must keep the button depressed to maintain the heat, which is the preferred choice for those who want total manual control and maximum safety.

Do I need to soak the cover in water?

No. The specialized cover is designed to pull moisture from the humidity in the air. Adding water to the unit can damage the heating element and is not required for the moist heat benefit.

Can the flannel cover be washed?

Yes. The outer flannel cover is removable and can be machine washed (cool water, air dry) to maintain hygiene over long-term use.
