Model TB6 (100 to 125 volt) and Model TB7 (220 to 240 volt)
Indications
Useful in symptomatic relief of pain caused by medically diagnosed arthritis, bursitis, and
chronic joint inflammation. Relaxes muscles, relieves stiffness and muscle spasms, and
stimulates circulation. May be prescribed for post-fracture or post-dislocation treatment,
for sprains, strains, for restriction of motion due to scar tissue, and for other conditions for
which heat is indicated. Commonly used prior to therapeutic exercise and massage. May
be prescribed in certain peripheral vascular diseases. Consult your physician if you have
any questions.
Contraindications
Should not be used in the presence of open cuts or wounds, inflammatory skin conditions,
neoplasm (growths), peripheral vascular disease where circulation is impaired, acute
inflammation, or when sensation of the extremity is reduced or absent (such as in some
cases of diabetes). If there is any question about peripheral vascular disease or decreased
sensation of the extremities, consult a physician or physical therapist before using. Should
not be used on areas subject to hemorrhaging or in cases involving abnormal sensitivity to
heat. Discontinue use if dermatitis due to paraffin sensitivity occurs. Discontinue use if wax
feels too hot or cool, which could indicate health problems with the user. Do not allow children
or those with severe physical disabilities to use the device.
