Description
The ThermaCare self-warming belt patch provides effective and targeted relief of muscle and joint pain associated with muscle tension, aches and pains or osteoarthritis. It is suitable for chronic or occasional pain. The ThermaCare patch is for single use only and does not contain any medicinal ingredients.
The ThermaCare patch has multiple cells that contain air-activated agents, such as iron, at their core. Heating begins as soon as the pouch is opened, when the cells come into contact with the oxygen in the air. The heat released soothes the pain.
ThermaCare gives you up to 16 hours of relief with one patch: 8 hours while you are wearing it and 8 hours after you take it off.
Instructions for use
1/ Open the pouch containing the ThermaCare belt to activate the heat. 2/ Place the patch on the painful area. For people over 55, it should be worn over clothing. 3/ Attach ThermaCare with the Velcro. After 30 minutes, the temperature of 40°C is reached. 4/ The patch can be worn continuously for 8 hours. It is thin and discreet, and odourless. 5/ After 8 hours, remove the patch and throw it away. Once the chemical reaction is complete, the patch cannot be reused.
