Frequently Asked Questions

How do I heat the half-size moist heat pack?
Relief Pak moist heat packs are typically heated in a hydrocollator (moist heat unit) filled with hot water, which is the standard method used in clinical settings. For home use, follow the manufacturer's instructions included with the pack. Never apply the pack directly to bare skin — always use a protective terry cloth cover or towel barrier to prevent burns.

How long does the heat last?
Each treatment delivers at least 30 minutes of therapeutic moist heat. Wrapping the pack in a towel or using a terry cloth cover will help retain heat longer and protect the skin from direct contact. Heat duration may vary slightly depending on ambient temperature and insulation.

Can I store the pack in the refrigerator for cold therapy?
Yes — after use, the pack can be stored in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for later use as a cold pack. This makes it a versatile option for alternating heat and cold therapy as part of a rehabilitation or pain management routine.

How do I know when to replace the pack?
Inspect the pack regularly for signs of wear, leakage, or deterioration of the filling material. If the pack no longer retains heat effectively, develops an odor, or shows visible damage, it should be replaced. With proper care and storage, Relief Pak moist heat packs are designed for long-term reuse in both clinical and home settings.
