Customer Reviews
How should I store my Products Hydrocollator Moist Heat Pack?
The Vive Hydrocollator Moist Heat Pack can be stored in two ways. For frequent use, store the Hydrocollator Moist Heat Pack submerged in water, changing often to minimize cross-contamination. For infrequent use, the moist heat packs may be stored in a sealed bag in a freezer.
Do I need to use a pack cover or towel with the heat pack?
Yes! The Hydrocollator Moist Heat Pack must be used with a pack cover or thick towel layer between the skin and the pack to prevent irritation and burns.
One of the chambers feels lumpy. Is it okay to use?

The Vive moist heat packs are filled with a safe, bentonite clay and sodium silicate mixture.
