Figure 1—T/Pump Heat Therapy System
Heat therapy is effective in the dilation of blood vessels, thereby increasing
the blood flow to the heated area. Heat therapy has a variety of uses, the
most common being treatment of aches and pains in joints and muscles.
The GAYMAR T/Pump® Heat Therapy System provides a means of
applying heat therapy by supplying temperature-controlled water through a
connector hose to a Gaymar T/Pad®. The hose is terminated in easy-to-use
Clik-Tite® or Colder-style connectors.
The T/Pad provides the interface for delivering the heat therapy. The
unique button design allows water to flow and provides trouble-free
operation when the pad is folded. This reduces the number of pads your
facility must keep in inventory. The pads are applied to the part of the
body requiring heat therapy, and the circulating water maintains the pad at
the set point temperature. The temperature set point is key-operated to
prevent tampering.
www.gaymar.com P/N 10569-000 12/98
The T/Pads can be interconnected (on model TP500 only) to provide
therapy to more than one body site at a time.
