Description

Chattanooga M-2 Hydrocollator Heating Unit

The Chattanooga M-2 Hydrocollator Heating Unit is a high-capacity, floor-standing moist heat system designed for physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and medical clinics with higher daily treatment volumes. Constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel and thermostatically controlled, the M-2 delivers consistent, ready-to-use HotPacs throughout the day.

Designed for Busy Clinical Environments

The M-2 offers significantly more HotPac capacity than countertop models, making it ideal for multi-therapist clinics and high-throughput treatment settings. Its mobile, floor-standing design allows for convenient placement and easy movement within the clinic.

The Gold Standard in Moist Heat Therapy

Chattanooga Hydrocollators are widely recognized as the industry standard for moist heat therapy. The M-2 is engineered for long-term clinical use, featuring a corrosion-resistant stainless steel tank that is easy to clean and maintain.

Moist heat therapy is commonly used to help reduce pain, stiffness, and muscle spasm while improving circulation. HotPacs typically reach treatment temperature within approximately 20 minutes and can retain therapeutic heat for up to 30 minutes when properly wrapped.
