Be sure that your skin in the area you are going to apply the HeatWrap is clean and dry, and free of recently applied skin moisturizers, lotions, and any other topical products (especially medicated products and patches).
Position the HeatWrap against your back or hip; make adjustments, if necessary. When you are satisfied with the HeatWrap’s placement, "lock" them into place by fastening the small hooks in front.

Warnings

THIS PRODUCT CAN CAUSE BURNS AND SKIN IRRITATION. Your risk of burning increases as you age. If you are 55 years of age or older, wear ThermaCare over a layer of clothing and not directly against your skin. Each heat disc contains iron (~2 grams), which can be harmful if ingested. If ingested, rinse mouth with water and call a poison control centre right away. If heat disc contents come in contact with your skin or eyes, rinse right away with water. Never heat product in microwave or attempt to reheat as heat wrap could catch fire. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

DO NOT USE with pain rubs, medicated lotions, creams, or ointments; on unhealthy, damaged, or broken skin; on areas of bruising or swelling that have occurred within 48 hours; on people unable to follow all use instructions or remove the product, including children, infants, and some elderly; on areas of the body where you can't feel heat; or with other forms of heat.

STOP USE AND ASK A PHYSICIAN if you experience any discomfort, burning, swelling, rash, or other changes in your skin that persist where the wrap is worn. If after 7 days your pain gets worse or remains unchanged, this may be a sign of a more serious condition.

ASK A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USE if you have DIABETES, poor circulation or heart disease, or rheumatoid arthritis, or you are pregnant.
