Description

Chattanooga SS-2 Hydrocollator Heating Unit

The Chattanooga SS-2 Hydrocollator Heating Unit is a mobile, floor-standing moist heat system designed for physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and medical clinics that want more capacity than countertop models with the flexibility to move the unit around the treatment area. Built with a rugged stainless steel tank and full fiberglass insulation, the SS-2 helps maintain consistent therapeutic temperature throughout the day.

Mobile Floor Unit for Efficient Clinic Workflow

The SS-2 is a strong fit for clinics that want a compact mobile hydrocollator without moving up to the largest M-series units. The insulated tank reduces heat loss, and the unit is designed for continuous operation so HotPacs are ready whenever treatment is needed.

The Gold Standard in Moist Heat Therapy

Chattanooga Hydrocollators are widely recognized as the industry standard for moist heat therapy. The SS-2 is engineered for long-term clinical use with durable stainless steel construction and an easy-to-clean design.

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.
