Cura Heat Direct To Skin Back & Shoulder Pain Patches
Cura Heat Direct To Skin Back & Shoulder Pain Patches provide up to 16 hours of non-medicinal pain relief for back and shoulders, targeting the source of pain to decrease stiffness, improve mobility and relax tense/aching muscles. The penetrating heat action lasts for 8 hours, and once removed the pain relief can continue for a further 8 hours. These patches can be applied directly to the skin for those who prefer direct skin application heat therapy and are thin and fragrance free, offering a discreet and convenient way to manage your back and shoulder pain.
Directions
- Open the sachet by hand (do not cut with scissors) and remove the heat patch
- Ensure the skin is dry and clean over the place of application. Peel away the paper strip and apply adhesive side of the heat patch to the skin on the back or shoulder area
- Do not knead the heat patch
- The heat patch activates on contact with the air and starts to warm up - it reaches optimal heat within approximately 30 minutes
- When removing after use or to reposition the heat patch, please tear it off slowly. Do not pick the heat patch's surface to avoid the heat patch inner contents from spilling and damaging clothes/skin
- After use dispose with normal household waste. Do not incinerate the heat patch
The heat patch is air-activated. Do not open the sachet until you are ready to use it.
It is normal to experience slight skin redness after removing the heat patch. If your skin is still red after a few hours, stop using the heat patch until the redness goes away completely.
If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.
