Electric thermal heating pad

An electrothermal heating pad (synonyms: electric heating pad, thermofor) is a small portable device designed to heat individual areas of the body using electric current.

Electrothermal heating pads operate using a heating element located inside the body. When connected to the power supply, the heating element begins to generate heat, which is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the heating pad.

Such heating pads are used for local heating of various parts of the body - hands, feet, lower back and others. This allows you to warm the desired area without overheating the entire body. Heating pads are especially relevant in the cold season, when people freeze even indoors.

Warmers come in different shapes and sizes. The body is usually made of soft and flexible materials so that it can fit snugly to the body. There are disposable chemically heated heating pads and reusable electric models. The latter are more convenient to use and more economical in the long run.

Electrothermal heating pad (Electric heating pad) A heating pad is a device for local heating of the body or individual parts of the body in case of pain or hypothermia, which operates on electric current. A heating pad is the most common and popular way to warm the body during the cold season, and can also be used for medical purposes to warm specific areas of the body, such as joints, muscles and bones. The design of the heating pad includes a heating element - a resistive wire or carbon filament, hidden in a metal plate with heat-insulating properties. During operation of the device, a current is supplied to the heating pad, which heats the conductor, creating a heat flow. Thus, the effect occurs directly on a specific area of ​​the body. Electrothermal heating pads are very common, as they not only allow you to warm up cold extremities or parts of the body, but can also be used for pain in the joints or muscles, which is due to the advantages of electrical heating over other methods, such as heat therapy
