Ideal For

These paraffin mitts are an excellent choice for physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics that use paraffin wax baths as part of their heat therapy protocols for hand, wrist, and finger conditions. They are well-suited for hand therapists treating patients with arthritis, stiffness, or post-surgical hand and wrist conditions who need to maximize the duration and effectiveness of each paraffin treatment. The mitts are also practical for home paraffin bath users who want to extend heat retention between dips. Any clinic or individual using a paraffin wax bath unit who needs replacement or additional mitts to maintain their treatment workflow will find this pair a straightforward and compatible accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use paraffin mitts correctly?
After completing the paraffin dipping process — typically 8–10 dips to build up a thick wax coating — slide the mitt over the waxed hand immediately to trap heat. Leave the mitt in place for the duration of the treatment, usually 15–20 minutes, then remove the mitt and peel off the wax. Always follow your paraffin bath unit's instructions and your therapist's protocol for dipping temperature, number of dips, and treatment duration.

Are these mitts reusable?
Yes — paraffin mitts are designed for repeated use. After each treatment, shake out any wax residue and allow the mitt to air dry before reuse. Replace mitts when they show signs of wear, tearing, or significant wax buildup that affects their insulating properties.

Are these mitts compatible with all paraffin bath units?
These mitts are a standard size (12 x 6.5 inches) compatible with most paraffin wax bath units used in clinical and home settings. Confirm the mitt size is appropriate for your specific unit and patient hand size before use.

Can these mitts be used for foot paraffin treatments?
These mitts are sized for hand and wrist use. For foot paraffin treatments, a larger bootie-style cover is typically required. Check our store for paraffin booties if you need foot treatment accessories.
