Q: What are the benefits of
Thermotex Infrared Heat Therapy?
A: Thermotex infrared therapeutic heat provides a deep
penetrating form of thermal energy. This increase in thermal
energy within the tissues results in an increase in the
metabolic processes within the cells. Therefore, there is an
increase in the blood flow to the area, a decrease in pain,
a decrease in stiffness and an increase in tissue
extensibility.
The increase in metabolic activity within the cells results
in an increased demand for oxygen and a resultant
vasodilatation or increased blood flow to the area. This
increase in blood flow is usually six times that of the
blood flow to the same anatomical area during resting
conditions. This increase in circulation not only brings
more oxygen to the area but also supplies the area with more
nutrients and provides a means to remove the cellular waste
products created during repair.
Q: Is Thermotex safe?
A: Yes. Thermotex use infrared heat. Infrared heat is so
safe, it is used to warm newborn babies in hospitals.
Q: Can I use any ointments or liniments under a Thermotex
System?
A: No. Do not use any ointments or liniments under the
Thermotex Therapeutic System. It is not necessary and may
cause scalding due to the abrasive and irritant nature of
some ointments and liniments.
Q: Why are the Thermotex Therapy System Products so
unique?
A: The Thermotex Therapy System provides a deep penetrating,
comfortable, therapeutic heat that is significantly
different from any other heat therapy on the market today.
Each Thermotex heating pad is constructed using the finest
materials and utilizes deep penetrating infrared rays as the
source of heat. This concept provides Thermotex with several
distinct advantages over any other heating therapy.
-
The
Thermotex Therapy System delivers a more effective and
relatively deep penetrating heat versus the conventional
heating pads that rely on conductive heat production
from wire coil resistance.
-
Patients
are comfortable during therapy since there is no
overheating of the skin during treatment.
-
Since
there is no dehydration factor during treatment and
there is a comforting application of heat, the Thermotex
Therapy System can be applied for long periods of time,
which optimizes the treatment.
-
There are
no adverse side effects during treatment such as burning
or skin irritation.
-
This deep
therapeutic heat provided by the Thermotex Therapy
System is relaxing to the patient and provides a
comforting powerful psychological effect to the animal.
Just watching the animals during and after treatment
assures us that it must feel good to the animal.
Q: How deep
will Thermotex heat therapy penetrate?
A: In studies, Thermotex has been shown to raise temperatures at depths
of 6 cm (2.36 inches) beneath the surface of the skin
after just 20 minutes of use.
Q: Does Thermotex have a warranty?
A: Yes, there is a 1 year manufacturer's warranty included
with all Thermotex products.
