Thermophore Classic Heating Pad

The original Thermophore design — press the switch to heat, release to cool. Full manual control over when heat is on and off. Same weighted 4 lb body, same automatic moist heat, same 14" × 27" coverage as the MaxHEAT 155 — with the simplicity of a press-and-hold switch trusted for decades. Drug-free pain relief since 1931.

The Press & Hold Switch — How It Works

• Squeeze the hand-held switch to activate heat
• Release the switch to let the pad cool
• Alternate pressing and releasing as often as you like
• Pad heats only while you're pressing — full manual control
• If you doze off, hand relaxes → pad cools automatically
• 25-minute auto shutoff as additional safety backup
• Single high heat setting (up to 165°F) — no Low/Med/High modes
