These covers will prevent direct contact between your bare skin and the Hydrocollator® HotPacs or any other moist heat packs you may be using.

The key feature of Hydrocollator® Foam-Filled Terry Covers is their polyurethane foam layer situated between two layers of terry cloth. This takes the place of the four layers of terry cloth used in traditional All-Terry Covers. Terry cloth is highly porous  and this helps it to serve as a barrier from the hot steam coming from the HotPac. You will not need to replace a terry cloth cover as it becomes saturated.
