Click Here to watch an under ice dive using Thermo-Pads
The
Thermo-Pad heating pad heats in seconds to a built in preset
temperature,
and will radiate approximately 110o F. to provide heat for
from
one to three hours depending on its starting temperature and the
ambient
temperature. By positioning the pad inside your wet or dry suit on your
lower back, your body increases the blood flow to your extremities to
help
warm your hands and feet.
The
Canadian Coast Guard has used the Thermo-Pad model 818 for over twenty
years for the treatment of hypothermia.
Thermo-Pads
have been used for over twenty years in hospitals and nursing homes in
Canada because it has a preset maximum temperature and contains a safe
food grade salt, Thermo-Pad is the safest heating pad available.

to suit your needs.
