Product Overview

Hydrocollator® Moist Heat HotPacs™ are reusable moist heat packs commonly used in professional therapy environments. When properly heated in a compatible Hydrocollator® heating unit and applied with an appropriate cover or towel barrier, they provide comfortable moist heat for clinical heat-therapy workflows.

The attached SKU chart identifies seven available HotPac™ options:

  • Half
  • Standard
  • 10" × 18" Spinal
  • 10" × 24" Spinal
  • Knee/Shoulder
  • Neck Contour
  • Oversize

Each size is designed for a different treatment-area profile, from smaller joints and extremities to larger areas such as the back, shoulder, knee, and spine.

Why Choose Hydrocollator® Moist Heat HotPac™?

Professional Moist Heat Therapy

Hydrocollator® HotPacs™ are a long-standing moist heat choice for therapy clinics and rehabilitation settings. They are designed to deliver consistent, soothing moist heat when used with compatible heating equipment.

Reusable Clinical Design

Each HotPac™ is designed for repeated use, making it a practical inventory item for clinics, athletic training rooms, and therapy departments.

Multiple Sizes for Different Body Areas

The product line includes seven size options so clinicians can match the pack to the treatment area rather than forcing one universal shape to work everywhere.

Natural Bentonite Hydrocolloid Filling

The HotPac™ design uses natural bentonite hydrocolloid filling, which helps retain heat and release moist warmth during therapy.

Flexible Cotton-Banded Construction

Cotton banding helps create a flexible pack that can conform to body contours when properly covered and positioned.

Moist Heat vs. Dry Heat

Moist heat is often preferred in therapy environments because it can feel more penetrating and comfortable than dry heat when properly applied. Hydrocollator® HotPacs™ are designed to be heated in water-based warming units and then applied with an insulating cover.
