Before choosing a heat wrap, make time for its instructions. ThermaCare Lower Back and Hip HeatWraps provide heat for temporary relief of minor muscular and joint aches. They can also cause burns, so correct use matters.

ThermaCare Advanced Back and Hip HeatWraps, 10-wrap package

Read these precautions first

The manufacturer’s current online label says to wear the wrap over clothing, stay awake during use, and check the skin frequently. Remove it if irritation or a burn develops. Do not use it for more than eight hours in 24 hours, with medicated skin products, or with another heat source.

When to ask a doctor

Ask a doctor before use if you have diabetes or poor circulation. Do not apply it to broken skin, areas where you cannot feel heat, or recent bruising or swelling. These are selected precautions, not the complete directions.

Choose the correct product

Check the exact name and read the full current label linked below. Do not assume that all warming patches, medicated patches, or reusable wraps have the same instructions. The branded cover image is a conceptual illustration. The separate product photo links to the Amazon listing.

Check the exact product, seller, current price, delivery options, and return policy before ordering. Availability and shipping to Turks and Caicos are not guaranteed.
