Customer Reviews of Moist Heating Pads - TheraTherm Digital Moist Heating Pads
Customer Review: Expensive But Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this heating pad for my wife. She's particularly rough on things and had already burned through two other less expensive units. The other reviews which refer to the TheraTherm as being heavier than regular heating pads are accurate. Using this is not unlike being under one of those lead bibs that dentists now use when they are taking dental x-rays. It's not as heavy, but it certainly has more heft to it than any heating pads I've ever owned/used before. My wife likes the extra weight, as it tends to hold this unit in place when she's using it. She also likes the extra length, which covers more of her back, neck and shoulders.
Operation, however, is not exactly intuitive. My wife tends not to read instruction sheets/manuals, but had to before she could get this to work correctly for her. I tend to read instructions, but the first time I needed to use it, I couldn't find them and it took me awhile to get it started...still don't know if I was using it correctly. So, expect to spend a little time reading the instructions before using it. The keypad is not simple, like other heating pads we've owned previously.
Pluses - size, weight, heat and ability to set timer for length of use.
Minuses - unit does not heat up as quickly as our older pads did...takes a little more time to get up to temp, keypad complicated and not backlit for use in darker room.
Overall I'd say we're very pleased with this purchase. It is quite expensive compared to other units, but seems to be very well built and we expect it will outlast the previous two heating pads we bought. Only improvement, in our time of limited usage, would be to make the controls easier to operate and to add lighting to control to enable older users like ourselves to see screen in darkened rooms.
Description of Moist Heating Pads - TheraTherm Digital Moist Heating Pads
The Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad, as opposed to dry forms of heat, draws moisture directly from the air. There is no water to add, no water to boil, no dripping packs and no towels to prepare. Moisture is drawn from the humidity in the air and retained in a specially designed 100% cotton cover. When the hot pack is turned on, the retained moisture is rapidly heated by high-grade ceramics, forcing the moisture out of the flannel cover onto the patient's skin, allowing deeper penetration of heat into the bodys tissue. The moisture acts only as a means to transmit heat more deeply into the tissue, so only a small amount is needed. TheraTherm, unlike all competitive products on the market, has a digital hand control allowing the operator to program the following parameters: treatment temperature, treatment time and on/off. Competitive units, including Thermophore, require the operator to make continual contact with a single-loaded switch to generate and maintain heat from the pad. This is positioned as a safety feature. TheraTherm has a conventional on/off control switch.Pain Relievers
