Q: can these packs be heated in a large hot towel cabinet instead of a hydroculator?

I heat mine in a large oval slow cooker (Crock Pot) on the “Warm” setting, and use a pair of cooking tongs to both remove a heated pack and to push a used back into the water for reheating. During a continuous course of therapy, the pack can be left in the slow cooker on “Warm” whenever it’s not in use, so it’s always ready to go. Don’t use the “Low” setting or you may burn your skin. For that reason, the recommendation to “boil” a pack is not only not necessary, but could make this pack dangerously hot—and it might damage the pack over time, shortening its useful life. FYI, some small clinics use slow cookers instead of the large commercial water baths that can hold multiple packs. I was surprised to see that a rehab supplies seller said to put it in a hot towel cabinet. I would recommend confirming that with the manufacturer before trying it. These packs are designed to be used wet, and you’re not supposed to ever let them dry out after the first use, which a hot towel cabinet would almost certainly do. I would definitely NEVER microwave one while dry (as you would a rice pack). Also, either get a cover that is designed for one of these or wrap it in a thin towel before applying it to the treatment area—you normally wouldn’t want to put it directly in contact with your skin.

Q: How do you store this between uses at home? I have been told to freeze it so it stays moist and does not mold. Is that correct?

During a continuous course of therapy, the pack can be left in the slow cooker on “Warm” whenever it’s not in use, so it’s always ready to go. Storing in the freezer is necessary only when you’re in between courses of therapy. Don’t use the “Low” setting or you may burn your skin.

Q: Can you use it as a cold pack?

After you soak it for the first time,there's no reason why you can't use it as a cold pack.

Q: Is this to big for shoulders?

Its too cumbersome for a shoulder you need to use the cervical. It can be used for the hip, wrapping it around.
