A moist-heat pack is a reusable device designed to deliver moist heat therapy to the body surface. It is applied with pressure to help reduce muscle spasms, cramps, joint and muscle stiffness, and associated pain through localized heat application.
Typically made from soft materials such as cotton, gauze, or linen and sometimes containing gel or absorbent fillers, the pack is warmed by immersion in hot water or heating in a microwave oven before use. As a reusable device, it is intended for multiple applications after proper cleaning and reheating, and is regulated based on its intended use and mechanism of action as a physical therapy aid.
