THERMOTEX® is a deep tissue infrared heat therapy system designed to relieve pain and promote healing. Available in several sizes to comfortably accommodate different areas of the body, Thermotex® safely delivers infrared thermal energy which is absorbed by the soft tissues in the body.
The gentle absorption of heat increases blood flow within the treated area beneath the surface of the skin. The body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to increase blood flow into the area in order to disperse the heat around the body and maintain the core temperature (homeostasis).
The increased blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients to the painful area and carries waste products away to be metabolized by the body. Thermotex® eases pain and promotes healing by delivering infrared energy deep into the soft tissue, rather than by heating the surface of the skin.

What does Infrared do?
Through the absorption of infrared thermal energy, tissues are safely and gently heated increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis—a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area.

Thermotex Therapy Systems Ltd., located in Calgary, Alberta CANADA, is a world leader in the development and manufacture of "deep heat" infrared therapy systems. Thermotex therapy systems are very energy efficient and deliver exceptional, non invasive therapeutic benefits.
Thermotex™ is a convenient, portable therapy system that you can use at home, in the office, while driving or on vacation to provide effective temporary pain relief wherever and whenever you need it.
Thermotex™ produces infrared heating to provide deep penetrating warmth for temporary relief of acute and chronic pain. |
Thermotex™ is a registered medical device with both Health Canada, and the US Food and Drug Administration.
Equine studies have shown therapy applications with thermal energy penetration of up to 2.36 inches. Heating pads, which provide topical conductive heat, only penetrate 2 - 3 mm. Depth of penetration substantiated in a study done by Dr. Ronald J. Riegel entitled "Thermotex Therapy System Infrared heating pad versus conventional heating pad and hot towel."
Thermotex™ infrared operates at temperatures of between 40C - 45C, versus heating pads that are often in excess of 55C. Our products will not burn or dehydrate the skin. |
