ABSTRACT:
A microwavable heating pad that includes a pouch, accessing apparatus, a sealed bag, and discrete particles. The pouch contains a chamber and has a heat exchange layer contactable with a part of a body to which heat is to be applied. The accessing apparatus is associated with the pouch and is used to selectively access the chamber in the pouch. The sealed bag is replaceably contained in the chamber in the pouch and is accessible through the accessing apparatus and is in heat exchange communication with the heat exchange layer of the pouch. The discrete particles are contained in the sealed bag and are in heat exchange communication therewith and comprise an organic material that is solid at room temperature and exhibits a mesocrystalline transition temperature when subjected to microwave radiation, so that when the sealed bag is subjected to microwave radiation, the discrete particles contained therein exhibit the mesocrystalline transition temperature and generate heat which in turn causes the sealed bag to heat and form a heated sealed bag which is then replaceably inserted into the chamber in the pouch through the accessing apparatus with the pouch then being contacted to the part of the body to which the heat is to be applied until the heat becomes exhausted at which time the sealed bag is removed from the pouch through the accessing apparatus.
