SpeedHeat is a new method for applying controlled heat to an
injured muscle or ligament. Using Inditherm's flexible polymer heating
technology, SpeedHeat delivers heat directly to the injury, aiding the healing
process.
Principle
Heat treatment of muscle and ligament injuries is
normally applied during the repair stage. Heat therapy helps to treat
the injury by increasing perfusion and assisting tissue repair, and when applied
to "tight" muscles, helps to relax them reducing the risk of injury.
Traditional muscle heat treatment devices
used by physiotherapists have included wheat bags, infrared radiant lamps, hot water
bottles, hot baths, and heat packs, none of which provide for controlled
treatment. SpeedHeat allows you to apply precise, regulated warming directly to an injured
muscle, tendon or ligament.
Individual Heating Pads
Individual heating pads have been designed to fit all major muscle groups,
to deliver heat directly to the affected area. Pads are flexible, lightweight
units that can be used individually or in any combination. All heating pads operate
at a safe low voltage.
Control units
SpeedHeat control units display the temperature of the heating pad.
Variable control enables the physiotherapist to increase or reduce temperature
as required for the treatment. Once set the temperature is automatically
retained in the memory for the next treatment cycle. Control units are available
as either single controllers or with triple outputs to independently control
upto three heating pads at the same time.
