What is the storage water temperature range for hydroculator hot packs?

• A. 140-160 degrees.
• B. 50-60 degrees.
• C. 200-220 degrees.
• D. 100-120 degrees.

Answer: (A)

Hydroculator packs rely on keeping them in a heated water bath to provide consistent moist heat. The storage water temperature range is 140-160 degrees Fahrenheit. This range keeps the packs warm enough to transfer meaningful heat to tissues during treatment, while staying safe to handle and to place on the skin. Water that's cooler wouldn’t provide enough heat, and water that's much hotter would raise the risk of burns. In practice, you’ll often find packs delivered ready for use at around the upper end of this range, and you should always test the pack surface temperature before application and use a barrier as needed.
