Tropic Pac Antibacterial Knee and Shoulder Moist Heat Pack

Before intense physical activity or after injury, moist heat therapy is a great way to loosen muscles or relieve pain to encourage the healing process to take place. The Tropic Pac Antibacterial Knee and Shoulder Moist Heat Pack is designed specifically for this purpose, and is able to retain its heat to provide therapy for up to 30 minutes at a time. Reusable and antibacterial, this pack is perfect for use in a therapeutic environment.

This Heat Pack is manufactured with a specially designed shape and centre cut-out, making it perfect for therapy application on the knee or shoulder.

Available in Bulk

This Tropic Pac is available as a single pack or supplied in a pack of six at a reduced price per pack. This is especially suitable for physical therapists who may require enough packs to treat many clients. Select the quantity required from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

Effective Moist Heat Therapy

Unlike traditional hot packs that rely on a dry surface to transfer heat, these packs use the energy-transferring power of moisture. During moist therapy, heat will transfer to the patient’s skin more efficiently, as heat transfer is boosted with moisture compared to dry air. This allows for deep, soothing heat to permeate into the patient’s muscles for effective relief from pain and stiffness.

Antibacterial Synthetic Fabric

Since these packs are reusable and suitable for use in a physical therapy clinic environment, it’s important that good hygiene practices are maintained. The antibacterial synthetic material used in these packs is designed to fight bacteria growth and odour, leading to a more pleasant and cleanly therapy experience. These features make these packs particularly suited to repeated use by multiple clients.

Long-Lasting Heat Retention

This Tropic Pac can retain its heat for long stretches of time, allowing it to provide effective and deep-reaching therapy. Since it can absorb many times its own volume in water, it will quickly reach an operating temperature for quick turnaround times. Retaining its heat for up to 30 minutes, most therapeutic requirements will be met by this Moist Heat Pack.
