Abstract: Therapeutic heating pads and covers serve to preclude direct contact between a patient and any heating pad or towels applied. The covers thus serve to lessen soiling or contamination of the towels or pads. The pad cover material is non-absorbent and moisture or liquid impervious, providing for ease of cleanup and sanitation. The pads and covers may be provided in a variety of shapes and sizes in order to conform better to specific areas of the anatomy and include securing straps enabling the pad covers to be secured to the desired area of the patient.
