Key Features
- This Hydrocollator is a thermostatically controlled liquid heating device designed to heat bentonite-filled packs in water up to 100 degrees where the packs will be removed and wrapped in several layers of toweling and applied to the affected body area of a patient to relieve acute pain or relax certain muscle groups. Hydrocollators are often used by kinesiologists, sports trainers, physical therapists, and in rehab clinics and chiropractic offices.
Product Description
Utilized by sports trainers, kinesiologists, physical therapists and other healthcare practitioners, hydrocollators are used in physical therapy clinics, physical rehab centers, athletic training facilities and chiropractic offices.
Hydrocollators are used to heat packs when treatment by moist, penetrating heat is indicated. Moisture delivers the heat to the deeper layers of muscle and into the joints, resulting in pain relief and the elimination of stiffness along with enhanced circulation. Conditions that benefit from the use of hydrocollator packs include various forms of arthritis, lower back pain, TMJ, neck spasms, migraine headaches, chronic injuries caused by repetition and overuse, and children’s myofascial pain.
The packs are used before physical therapy treatments to allow maximum range of both passive and active motion during exercises. The heating effects last for up to an hour after treatment.
Moist heat packs are contraindicated during the acute phase of an injury, when the patient has a co-morbid issue such as diabetic neuropathy or other issue that interferes with temperature sensations, circulation problems including DVT, or infections or malignant tumors.
