Directions for use
Ensure the application site is clean and dry.

Peel away the protective film from the back of the patch.

Apply adhesive side of the patch to the skin over the back or shoulder. The patch activates on contact with the air and starts to warm up - it reaches optimal heat within approximately 30 minutes.

When removing after use or repositioning, slowly and carefully peel off the patch. Do not pick the heat patch surface to avoid the heat patch inner contents from spilling and damaging clothes/ skin.

  • If the heat patch becomes uncomfortably hot or a rash develops, discontinue use immediately.
  • If you are elderly or have sensitive skin, apply adhesive side of the heat patch over clothing.
  • Do not use on those unable to remove it themselves, such as infants/ children, the elderly or physically disabled.
