Care of HotPacs
™
AALLWWAAYYSS
return the Hydrocollator HotPac to the hot water of the heating unit after each treatment.
There it is heated, kept clean and ready for immediate use. The HotPac may be boiled; however, this
hastens the deterioration of the pack. The pack may also be cleaned by scrubbing the pack with soap
and water. The simplified method of keeping the pack clean is to keep it immersed in water.
The Hydrocollator HotPac, under constant daily use, should have a useful life of at least one year. When
the pack begins to wear out, the filler oozes and leaks through the fabric of the cloth and sections of the
pack appear to be loose and empty and will not retain heat properly. The pack should be replaced when
it reaches this state. Original replacement Hydrocollator HotPacs may be ordered from an authorized
Chattanooga Group, Inc. dealer.
NNOOTTEE::
If HotPacs are to be stored for extended periods, they may be placed - while wet - in plastic
bags and stored in a freezer.
