| HeatPad |
A heating pad is a pad used for warming of parts of the body in order to manage pain. Localized application of heat causes the bloodvessels in that area to dilate, enhancing perfusion to the targeted tissue. Reusable - Water Resistant - Easy to use - No Electricity - Eco Friendly - Easy to Recharge - Portable - User Freedom A sodium acetate heat pad contains a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate (CH3COONa) that heats when the crystallization process is started by pressing a piece of metal that is embedded in the liquid. Because the liquid is supersaturated, pressing the metal makes the solution crystallize suddenly, thereby releasing the energy of the crystal lattice. |
| Dilating the blood vessels surrounding the painful area. Increased blood flow provides additional oxygen and nutrients to help heal the damaged muscle tissue.
