Thermacare Therapeutic Heat Self-Heating Bandages Neck/Shoulder/Wrist 2 Pieces Thermacare

Description
A band of soft and comfortable material with special patented cells that contain natural components (iron, carbon, salt and water) that develop heat when in contact with oxygen in the air. If applied for 8 hours, the constant heat of ThermaCare provides prolonged pain relief for up to 16 hours*.
Prolonged heat, at a constant temperature, increases blood circulation in the tissues, producing pain-relieving effects and relaxing the muscles, as:
• brings more oxygen to damaged tissues, helping the muscle to return to a state of well-being;
• stimulates the nerve endings, sensitive to temperature, interrupting the transmission of pain and thus promoting muscle relaxation.
Effective and targeted against muscle and joint pain due to muscle fatigue and tension, sprains, strains and arthritis.
Suitable for chronic and occasional pain.
It acts directly on the point of pain.
It does not contain any drugs.
Easy to use, comfortable to wear, thin, discreet and odorless. Disposable.
Clinically tested to relax tense muscles.

*Effect not evaluated on the wrist.

Place over the painful area with the darker part of the cells facing the skin and press the adhesive tab firmly onto the skin.
