Thermophore MaxHeat Plus Digital Moist Heat Packs
The Thermophore MaxHeat Plus is designed for those who want the legendary intensity of moist heat therapy with the convenience of a hands-free controller. Unlike the Classic model which requires you to hold a button, the MaxHeat Plus features a digital 3-stage switch. This allows you to select your preferred heat level and relax for a pre-programmed 20-minute cycle. It is the perfect solution for deep-tissue relief from chronic pain, muscle spasms, and stiffness.

Precision Sizing for Your Recovery
Each MaxHeat Plus model utilizes a weighted design to ensure the pad stays in close contact with your body, driving heat deeper than standard retail pads.
- Standard ($14" \times 27"$): The premier choice for full-back therapy. It is large enough to cover from the base of the neck to the tailbone, or to wrap entirely around a hip or thigh.
- Medium ($14" \times 14"$): A versatile square pad ideal for localized pain in the lower back, shoulder, or knee. Easy to manage and travel with.
- Cervical ($7" \times 20"$): Specifically contoured for the neck and upper spine. Its long, narrow shape allows it to drape perfectly over the shoulders to treat tension headaches and neck stiffness.
The Benefit of Automatic Moist Heat
Physicians prefer moist heat because it transfers thermal energy more efficiently than dry heat, reaching deeper into the muscle fibers to increase circulation. The Thermophore MaxHeat Plus uses a unique hygroscopic flannel cover that harvests moisture from the air. When the pad heats up, this moisture is released as therapeutic vapor. This professional-strength heat (reaching up to $165^\circ\text{F}$ on High) works quickly to flush out toxins and soothe aching joints.
The 20-minute safety timer is an essential feature, ensuring you receive the optimal treatment duration recommended by professionals without the risk of over-exposure. If you need more time, simply press the button again to start a new cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I have to hold the button down on this model?
No. The MaxHeat Plus features a "press-and-set" digital switch. You select the High, Medium, or Low setting, and the unit stays on for a timed 20-minute session.
Is this unit safe to use if I fall asleep?
The unit features an automatic 20-minute shut-off timer for safety. However, because of the high temperatures reached, it is always recommended to remain awake and alert during any high-intensity heat therapy session.
How do I clean the cover?
The outer flannel cover is removable and machine washable. We recommend washing in cool water and air drying to preserve the moisture-absorbing properties of the fabric.
