How It Works
ThermaCare HeatWraps contain heat cells that react with oxygen after the sealed pouch is opened. The air-activated reaction produces sustained heat directed toward the lower-back or hip area.
The wrap may take up to 30 minutes to reach its therapeutic temperature. Open the pouch only when ready to use.
Directions
-
Read the complete product label before use.
-
Make sure the intended application area is clean and dry.
-
Tear open one pouch when ready to apply the wrap.
-
Position the wrap flat over the painful lower-back or hip area, with the darker heat cells facing the body.
-
Fasten securely without overtightening.
-
Check the skin periodically during use.
-
Wear for no more than eight hours within any 24-hour period.
-
Remove and discard the wrap after use.
Do not fold, bunch, or overlap the heat cells because concentrated heat can increase the risk of burns. Users age 55 or older should wear the wrap over a layer of clothing rather than directly against the skin. These directions are based on the manufacturer’s current Lower Back & Hip HeatWrap label; follow the label supplied with the product if it differs.
