• Parafango is a mixture of dehydrated "mud" containing healing ingredients such as minerals and converted plants parts, mixed with various parrafins.

• Compact 1 kg bars are formed that are completely odorless when melted, easy to work with and reusable.

The Parafango bars are melted, heated and applied to specific portions of the body. Dilation of blood vessels, tissue hyperemia and increased blood flow are among the most important results.

During the treatment the patient experiences deep heat and relaxation. Parafango pack therapy is the deepest localized heat treatments available, replacing traditional hot packs commonly used.

The Parafango pack system is perfect thermal therapy. Hands, arms, elbows, feet, knees, shoulders, back and hips can easily be treated. Parafango should be employed whenever heat therapy is indicated.

Versatile Application:

• Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation: in combination with massage or direct remedial exercise, Parafango wraps have positive influence on residual damage from injury, often completely removing them.

• Sport Therapy: Excellent for later states of athletic injuries and chronic ailments such as fractures, sprains, contusions and contractures.

• Massage Therapy: enhances circulation, local metabolism, muscle tone and connective tissue; it intensifies strain circulation and leads to hyperaemia of muscles.

Preparation:

The parafango blocks are melted, stirred and heated to 140F (60C) in Prep Unit. This mixture is then poured onto a tray and allowed to cool. As the parafango cools to the desirable 122F, a shiny film becomes noticeable on its surface. The Parafango is now ready to be applied.

Method of Application:

The mixture should always be placed under or around the part of the body being treated and shaped accordingly. This direct contact with the skin produces rapid heat induction and hyperaemia. Once the Parafango is molded to the body, the person is wrapped tightly with a sheet and blanket and allowed to rest for 30 minutes.

During this time the temperature remains constant at 122F. No other thermal therapy equals the efficiency of Parafango in this resect.

As there is no water in the Parafango this temperature is well tolerated and due to the close contact of the Parafango to the skin, heat cannot escape, thus producing the desired effect of therocoagulation.

Note: Parafango does not stick to body hair; the person is completely clean after removing the pack.

Advantages of Parafango Use:

Parafango bars are completely odorless, compact and easy to use. Perspiration cannot penetrate the Parafango mixture. After removing the pack is wiped clean with a sponge or cloth, placed back into the Prep Unit and reused.
