CalorDerm CalorPak™ Moist Heat Pack – Standard Size – 10″ x 12″

Yes, but it must be fully immersed in water inside a microwave-safe container. Heat the water to approximately 160°F (71°C). Never heat the pack dry.

Yes. For first use, soak the pack in water for 16–20 hours to allow it to fully absorb water before heating.

Yes. CalorDerm CalorPak™ is designed specifically for hydrocollator units and hot water bath heating systems commonly used in physiotherapy clinics.

Yes. CalorPaks can remain in the hydrocollator tank indefinitely as long as proper water levels and recommended temperature (approximately 160°F / 71°C) are maintained. Regular water maintenance helps prolong pack lifespan.

No. Always wrap the heated pack in a towel or terry cloth cover before applying to skin to reduce the risk of burns.

When properly heated and wrapped in towels, the CalorPak provides therapeutic moist heat for up to 30 minutes.

Yes. If the pack is not being stored in a hydrocollator tank, placing it in a sealed plastic bag in the freezer can help prolong its lifespan and maintain proper hydration.

The 10" x 12" Standard CalorPak is ideal for lumbar spine, mid-back, hips, quadriceps, and calf treatments. It is one of the most versatile and commonly stocked sizes in physiotherapy clinics.

The 60 cm Neck CalorPak is better suited for cervical spine, upper trapezius, and shoulder treatments because it contours and drapes around the neck more effectively than the standard rectangular size.

The Oversized version is commonly used for full back applications or larger muscle groups. It provides broader coverage and is especially useful in high-volume clinic environments.

Yes. The 10" x 12" size is one of the most frequently stocked moist heat packs because it works well for lumbar and extremity treatments.

CalorDerm CalorPak™ delivers comparable professional-grade moist heat performance, reinforced corner loops, competitive pricing, and includes an extended 18-month warranty backed by a Canadian distributor.

CalorDerm offers professional clinic-grade construction, strong value pricing, reinforced durability, hydrocollator compatibility, and extended 18-month warranty coverage designed specifically for healthcare environments.

Odor is typically caused by hydrocollator tank maintenance rather than the heat pack itself. If tank water is not changed regularly or becomes contaminated, packs can absorb odor from the water.

Water should generally be replaced every 2–4 weeks. High-volume clinics may benefit from changing water every 2 weeks. Water should be changed immediately if it becomes cloudy, discoloured, or develops an odor.

Yes. CalorPaks™ are designed to remain fully submerged in a properly maintained hydrocollator tank. Ensure water temperature is maintained at approximately 160°F (71°C) and water levels are checked regularly.

While hydrocollators operate at therapeutic temperatures, bacteria and organic residue can still develop over time if water is not changed regularly. Proper tank cleaning and scheduled water replacement are essential.

Packs that are partially exposed to air can dry out, degrade prematurely, and may develop odor. Always ensure packs remain fully immersed in water.

No. Harsh chemicals should not be added directly to hydrocollator water. Only use manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions during full tank cleaning and rinse thoroughly before refilling.

Yes. Hard water can contribute to mineral buildup inside the tank and on packs over time. In areas with hard water, using distilled water may help reduce residue and prolong pack lifespan.

Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Odor resulting from hydrocollator maintenance issues or improper use is not considered a manufacturing defect.

Maintain consistent water temperature (approx. 160°F / 71°C), change tank water regularly, keep packs fully submerged, and clean the tank during scheduled water changes.
