Thermophore packaging for Canada has been reintroduced. Battle Creek is applying for a class II license and will be able to make medical claims later this year. There is no change to the product it is the same reliable product you all know and trust.

Just press “On” for heat, “Pause” to cool and alternate as often as you like. The 20-minute timer will shut the unit off for your protection.Our Thermophore® products provide the convenience of professional quality heat therapy – on demand, to significantly improve your ability to manage your daily routine. • Professional-quality intense moist heat can also be used at home for therapy any time of the day or night. • Thermophore® is the brand most often used and recommended by doctors, physical therapists, and other medical professionals. • Unique design produces moisture from the atmosphere, with no need for you to add any water. If needed, MaxHEAT Plus™ has a protective liner that lets you safely add a damp cloth for even more moisture! NEW SWITCH: The new Switch has 3 temperature levels (high, medium and low) and shuts off automatically after approximately 20 minutes of use. On the high setting, the deep heating pad reaches full, therapeutic temperatures for which Thermophore® products are renowned. The medium and low settings allow the user that is not comfortable with the maximum temperature, to find a more appropriate temperature for their needs and comfort. The lower setting enables clinicians to pre-heat the units before applying moist heat therapy to their patients.
