Therabath Professional Paraffin Wax Bath Benefits and Uses
Warm paraffin is used extensively to soften dry, cracked skin by drawing moisture from within the body to the surface. Hands, feet, face or elbows are left feeling soft and appearing more youthful looking.
For over 90 years Paraffin Wax Baths moist heat therapy have been used to relieve pain, inflammation and stiffness caused by arthritis. A form of thermotherapy, paraffin treatments effectively increase blood flow to aid in rehabilitation, or to warm an area of the body prior to other therapies or exercise.
The Therabath Professional Paraffin Bath is USA made to Class II medical device standards, and is still the only Made in the USA CE/ETL listed portable paraffin bath on the market.
Therabath units are hand-assembled ensuring that each and every one leaves the factory durable, safe, and reliable.
It's essential to keep the melted wax clean in the clinic setting, so have clients disinfect their hands up to the elbow prior to dipping. We recommend Aloe Care Foaming Alcohol Hand Sanitizer.
Always Safe Temperature Range:
The Therabath Paraffin runs in an “always safe” temperature range and is designed to maintain the desirable therapeutic temperature range of 126° to 134°F (52.2º–56.7ºC). Two internal thermostats ensure that the user will never immerse into wax that is too hot. In addition, the unit safely runs 24 hours per day (we say it’s safer than your refrigerator) so that it is ready to combat pain when the user is.
