Key Features:
Mobile Design: This model is equipped with casters, allowing it to be easily moved within a clinic, hospital, or therapy center. This mobility is a key feature for busy practices where the unit may need to be shared between different treatment rooms.
Large Capacity: The "12-Pac" designation indicates that the unit is built to hold and heat up to 12 standard-sized moist heat packs at the same time. This is ideal for high-volume use.
Durable Construction: It is made of stainless steel, which makes it resistant to corrosion and easy to clean, ensuring a long service life in a wet, clinical environment.
Thermostatic Control: The heater maintains a consistent, therapeutically-safe temperature for the hot packs, typically around 160-165°F (71-74°C). This ensures that the packs are always ready for use and at the correct temperature for patient application.
Insulated: The unit is well-insulated to help retain heat, which makes it more energy-efficient and keeps the exterior from becoming excessively hot.
Drain Valve: It includes a convenient drain valve for easy and safe draining during routine cleaning and maintenance.
Uses:
The Sammons Preston Tropic Heater is a standard piece of equipment in a variety of professional healthcare settings:
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation: It is used to warm moist heat packs for patients. The heat from these packs helps to relieve pain, reduce muscle spasms, increase circulation, and prepare stiff joints and muscles for exercise or other treatments.
Chiropractic: Many chiropractors use hot packs to relax muscles and make them more pliable before performing spinal adjustments.
Sports Medicine: Athletic trainers and sports therapists use the heater to provide moist heat therapy to athletes to treat muscle soreness, strains, and sprains.
Pain Management: The heater provides a consistent and effective way to deliver moist heat, a widely used and non-invasive modality for managing both acute and chronic pain conditions.
