Why is the Thermophore Pack so much heavier than ordinary heating pads?
To relieve aches and pains with hot fomentation treatments, it is necessary for the heat to effectively transfer deeply into body tissues. To make the Thermophore pack more efficient, we have positioned weights to cause the Thermophore pack to conform to body contours. This reduces air spaces between the Thermophore hot pack and body; so more heat is transmitted to the body tissues. Ordinary stiff plastic heating pads leave air pockets. Which result in uneven transfer of heat.
