Thermotherapy device

Abstract

To provide a band-like thermotherapy device capable of relieving the stiffness of shoulder and lumbago. The thermotherapy device (1) comprises a plurality of heating parts (12) on a flexible band-shaped body (11). The heating part (12) further comprises a bag-like storage part (15) formed between a base material sheet (13) and an oxygen permeable sheet (14) forming the flexible band-like body (11) and an oxidative heating type heating compound (16) filled in the storage part (15). The filling ratio R of the heating compound (16) in the storage part (15) meets the requirement of the following expression (1) and is less than 0.7, and the heating amount of the heating compound (16) in the storage part (15) is 0.26 kcal / cm<2> or more for each plan view area of the storage part. R <= -0.016S + 0.94 Expression (1) Where S is the plan view area of the heating compound storage part (unit:cm<2>), and R can be expressed by the following expression. R = (Mass of heating compound in storage part) / (Mass of heating compound chargeable in storage part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a warming treatment device having the effect of alleviating body pain such as sore shoulders and lumbago. Background technique [0002] Among the treatments for relieving pain in various parts of the body including shoulder pain, there is thermotherapy that warms the affected part. In thermotherapy, heat generated by exothermic composition containing iron powder and an oxidation accelerator stored in a bag is generally utilized. The exothermic composition is adjusted to a temperature of about 45° C., and can maintain the skin temperature suitable for the treatment of the affected part within a specified period of time, that is, a temperature in the range of about 38 to 42° C. be widely used. [0003] Conventional thermotherapy tools using exothermic compositions generally consist of individual exothermic parts in which exothermic compositions are stored in pouches of a specific size. Equipped with a heat-generating p...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The thermotherapy appliance disclosed in the aforementioned Patent Documents 1 and 2 has a width along the curved portion such as the neck, and the area of ​​each heating portion is limited.

However, depending on the sticking part, there is no feeling that the hot part is completely close to the body surface, so it cannot be said that the effect of thermal therapy is fully exerted.
