E-1 Hydrocollator

Hydrocollators - Tabletop & Floor Models Now Available

Hydrocollators are used in physical therapy offices, hospitals, clinics and doctors offices. Each stainless steel unit is designed to hold hot packs in water so they maintain the appropriate temperature for easing pain and reducing inflammation.

Hot packs are essential for physical therapy. Most hydrocollators are used in offices where physical therapy is delivered on a daily basis or where sports injuries are treated. Medical offices that deal with a variety of physical therapy procedures will need numerous hydrocollators of different sizes.

There are two main options when it comes to purchasing hydrocollators: small tabletop units and large units that sit on the floor. Tabletop units look like silver boxes with no decorations and floor models can look sort of like small refrigerator with a top-lifting lid.

The job of any hydrocollator is the same: to heat hot packs so they are ready for immediate application to a patient's skin. Hot packs used inside these hydrocollators are designed to be heated in water to a very specific temperature. They cannot be heated in the microwave or by any other means. It is also very convenient for therapists and doctors to have hot packs appropriately heated when they need to deliver the hot-pack treatment.

We know how important hydrocollators are to virtually any medical facility that treats sports injuries or that delivers physical therapy for patients who are in pain. That's why we make sure to stock a variety of durable, high-quality hydrocollators. We carry both tabletop and floor models so every customer finds just what they need.

All hydrocollators that we sell are professional quality and are suitable for sitting on countertops inside exam rooms or for centralized locations for full office accessibility. All hydrocollators come equipped with at least a few standard sized hot packs. The larger units may come with oversized packs for the neck and other areas of the body.

Insulated wrappers are now available as well. An insulated wrapper is designed for units that are not self-insulated. These wrappers are very easy to put over the unit. They not only make it safer for patients and staff so they do not touch the hot unit, but it helps save on the energy bill as more heat is held inside the unit. Wrappers are especially recommended for the countertop units.

We also stock a variety of replacement parts so you can keep the hydrocollators in your office functional for many years. Most replacement parts are easy to change yourself, which eliminates the need to pay someone to come and repair your unit. If you need a part for specific models of hydrocollators that we don't have online, just give us a call and chances are we can find what you need.
