Sizes: Length: 45 cm

Structure: three cells + stripes
Length including stripes: 160 cm
Uses:
The joints pillow is designed for pains relief and stimulation of blood circulation at single joints such as shoulder, elbow, knee and ankles and for some cases of arthritis. The division to cells is efficient in evenly spreading the heat around the joint. The stripes keep the pillow in place, allowing the patient to continue activity freely.
Always keep the pillow in a nylon bag in the freezer to ensure availability for immediate use in cold therapy (as cold compress) when needed.
