The Thermotex™ Platinum provides healing deep heat by utilizing the principles of Far Infrared Therapy(FIR). Therapeutic wave penetrate deeply into muscles, joint capsules, cartilages, ligaments and for intense healing and re-building. The Thermotex™ Platinum (model: tts-platinum) wraps easily to apply for pain, stiffness and healing of lumbar back pain, knee pain, thigh pain, leg pain or arm pain. Increase the mobility, flexibility; while speeding the healing of strains, sprains, athletic injuries, sore muscles, arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
The Thermotex™ Platinum Infrared Heating Pad has three hinged, therapeutic elements allowing the unit to wrap around body parts. Combined with the Velcro straps easy application to the particular area involved is facilitated.
Unlike transfer of surface heat conveyed by most heating therapies, Thermotex™ uses Far Infrared to drive thermal heat waves deep into the tissues. A subsequent vasodilation (i.e. increased blood flow) delivers cellular nutrition and abundant healing oxygen, while eliminating waste and lactic acid via improved lymphatic drainage. Other than during the first 48-72 hours of acute injury, this therapy helps decrease inflammation by bringing in healing nutrients while ridding the area of toxic metabolites. Think of it acting like a swimming pool filter.

CAUTIONS and CONTRAINDICATIONS: Most heat is developed in the deeper layers of the skin or
underlying tissues. However, Thermotex products may increase skin surface temperatures to as much as
135 degrees Farenheit while on the high setting. This is considered safe for most users. However, use
with the following conditions is contraindicated:
Pregnancy, Adrenal Suppression Disorders, Addison's Disease, Hemophilia or Multiple Sclerosis
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN PRIOR TO USE UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
Infections, fever or acutely swollen joints
Over Metal Implants
Cancers and Metastases
Silicon Implants
Diabetes and Peripheral Neuropathies
Disorders of poor circulation
USE WITH CAUTION FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Those with loss of sensation or paralysis should be supervised while using because they cannot sense pain or over-heating if heat builds up due to impeded circulation.
DISCONTINUE if pain is increased by infrared therapy
INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The Thermotex Heat Therapy Systems are indicated for the temporary relief of minor muscle pain and
joint pain stiffness; the temporary relief of joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms,
minor strains and sprains and minor muscular back pain; to induce muscular relaxation; and for
temporary increase of local circulation where applied.
THERAPEUTIC PROTOCOL:
Please note that for the most effective heat therapy treatment, it is recommended you start with the
high setting for only 10-15 minutes then change to the low setting for 15-25 minutes.
