The efficient automatic units which produce a uniform and constant temperature to heat steam packs is called Hydro collator unit. The Hydrocollator unit is a stainless steel tank in which silica gel packs are heated. The capacities of the machines vary and all units have insulated bases. The units contain a wire rack which acts as a divider for the packs and prevents contacts of packs with the bottom of the tank. The heater is thermostatically controlled and maintains water in the unit at a temperature between 76 and 80 degree Celsius. The Hydrocollator can be left on continuously as long as there is sufficient water in the tank.

Uses of a hydrocollator :-

• Pain & Muscle Spasm: The moist heat of the hydro collator packs can relieve pain and muscle spasm in superficial regions. The rise in temperature also causes increased circulation which then removes pain metabolites and thus breaks down the vicious cycle of pain and muscle spasm.
• Inflammation: In the case of mild inflammation, temperature elevation of 2 to 5 c will cause an increase in phagocytosis and aid absorption of the exudate.
• Oedema: Oedematous areas over a large section of an extremely chronic stages can be treated with a hot pack in elevation to help absorption of the exudate.
• Adhesions: The raised temperature of the collagen will make it easier to stretch the adhesions.

Because heat increases circulation and raises skin temperature, you should not apply it to acute injuries or injuries that show signs of inflammation. To be beneficial, heat should not be applied until the capillaries have had a chance to seal and stop leaking, usually 48 hours following an injury. In order to safely apply heat, first, wrap the pack in 3 towels before applying it to the body for 15-20 minutes at a time – this protects the body from overheating and from any irritation that can occur. As yummy as heat can be, be sure not to apply it after exercise or on an acute injury as it could worsen the symptoms. Heat therapy is an easy and inexpensive option to provide relief from many forms of pain – combined with massage it’s an absolute lifesaver!

Hydrocollator Packs are a combination of bentonite clay and other natural fillings. These bentonite clay packs applied externally are used to alleviate inflammatory pain, joint pain, congestion, bruised tissue, and strains. They prepare tense areas for deep tissue, reduce muscle spasm, and are very therapeutic following muscle soreness from physical activity. Hydrocollator packs are more effective for treating pain than electrical pads because moist heat relaxes muscles and nerves without drawing up moisture from the skin, so the affected area stays hydrated – this is important for a faster healing process. Hydrocollator packs increase blood flow by enlarging blood vessels below the surface relaxing the tissue, decreasing pain, and stimulating the healing process. Increasing circulation and relaxing muscles are not only helpful before a massage, but it’s also very beneficial before chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and therapeutic exercises as well. Athletes with chronic pain or overuse injuries may use this heat therapy before exercise to increase the elasticity of joint connective tissues and to stimulate blood flow.
