ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic system comprises a generator for generating moist heat in vapor form. The generator comprises a housing having a vapor chamber and a fluid reservoir, the fluid reservoir for receiving a fluid to be vaporized. The housing further contains a heater for heating the fluid received in the fluid reservoir in a first controlled manner to produce the moist heat in vapor form, wherein the moist heat in vapor form produced is contained in the vapor chamber. An interface remote from the generator interfaces the moist heat in vapor form with a desired treatment area. A delivery mechanism connected between the generator and the interface delivers the moist heat in vapor form from the generator to the interface in a second controlled manner. Lastly, a controller connected with the generator and the delivery mechanism controls the heating of the fluid received in the fluid reservoir in the first controlled manner and further controls the delivery of moist heat in vapor form to the treatment area in the second manner. The generator further provides for the inclusion of a treatment additive to the moist heat in vapor form.
