JointHeat© is the first and only electric heating device ever made especially for sore shoulders, elbows, knees, hips and ankles. After a year of designing and redesigning we finally came up with the world's first electric heating device that actually fits securely and comfortably on either shoulder. And it turns out that it also fits quite well on either the elbow, knee, hip or ankle… So, when you purchase JointHeat© you will receive five products for the price of one.
The standard flat electric heating pad has not changed since it was first designed
over 80 years ago. The pictures on almost every heating pad box show a person
holding a flat heating pad to their shoulder… ridiculous, right?
Well, that's what we thought when we had to use a heating pad for a sore
shoulder. There is just no easy way to get it to stay in place. We even tried
taping it on; we tried wrapping a beach towel around the pad and the shoulder,
while securing one end of the towel between the back and a chair and holding
the other end; we tried holding the arm straight out (flat pads do not fit on
round shoulders), while holding it with our free hand; we tried everything.
Because of the fact that JointHeat© is custom-formed to fit either of
these body joints, and the fact that it can be comfortably secured in place
with the soft, adjustable strap, most of the heat is transferred to that sore
joint, instead of escaping around the edges (which happens with flat pads).
You no longer have to raise the heat control to a higher level to warm a specific
area; the custom fit allows you to gain maximum comfort with a lower level of
heat. This will virtually eliminate hot spots that may cause burn injuries.
JointHeat© is not really a heating pad, because by definition, a 'pad'
is flat. JointHeat© is actually three electric heating panels, sewn together
like a finely tailored garment, to form a sculptured pocket that silhouettes
the curvature of the relaxed shoulder, the crooked elbow, knee or ankle. Prior
to JointHeat© all electric heating pads (devices) produced for the last
80 years have been flat.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER:
The temperature of your heating unit is governed by a high quality, UL rated,
slide controller with four settings: Off, Low, Medium and High.
Unlike the old flat electric heating pads, very little of the heat produced
by JointHeat© escapes from the outer edges. This allows for a much lower
heat setting than you may be used to when using flat pads; therefore, we suggest
that you begin with the low setting.
CONTOUR:
As with any tailored garment that has been packed into a tight box, it is
best to wear JointHeat© in order to mold it into its smooth custom shape.
However, heat produced from the heating elements, tightly sealed within a water
tight, vinyl envelope, will quickly conform JointHeat© to the contour of
your shoulder, elbow, knee or ankle.
FLEXIBILITY:
JointHeat© is symmetrically designed so that it can be applied to either
the left or right shoulder, elbow, knee or ankle; and because of its patented,
three piece, center panel design, JointHeat© is completely drapable and
will snugly fit the joints of either a petite female or the largest burly male.
SOFT WEBBED STRAP:
A soft, one and one half inch wide, adjustable webbed cloth strap is included
for holding JointHeat© securely and comfortably to your body. With the
two strong slip buckles, you can adjust the length of the strap from 26”
to 38”. Industrial strength Velcro™ fasteners, located at each end
of the strap are attached to either of the Velcro™ fasteners positioned
at the outer edge of each side of the heating unit.
FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY:
JointHeat© is warranted for a period of five years from the date of
purchase against electrical and mechanical defects in material and workmanship.
If the device fails to operate during the warranty period, please contact us
at "warranty@jointheat.com". When not in use, store in a cool, dry
