Paraffin Wax

Paraffin Wax

Paraffin wax heated and melted in the bath, with the surgical area

being directly dipped into the paraffin bath or it being applied to

the effected area with a brush, takes advantage of thermal conduction

as the dry heat therapy method. Paraffin bath is used as one of the

most effective heat therapies to treat pain, and the thermal

conductivity of paraffin is so weak that insensitive temperature is

high, enabling skin to endure high temperature of 55c~ 60c Celsius.

Paraffin retains a great amount of heat, thus it slowly gets cold

compared to other materials such as mud, water, thick soil, skin, air,

keeping warm the area where paraffin film is formed. And paraffin

itself is called dry heat, but perspiration occurs between skin and

paraffin film in terms of therapy, thus it is also called moist heat.

This is why paraffin bath is treatment method using both dry heat and

moist heat.

Advantages of Paraffin Wax

1.Paraffin has to be kept at 48c~ 58c in solution at low melting

point and when melting.

2.Low thermal conductivity on skin.

3.Paraffin slowly transfers heat, which lasts longer than water.

4.Able to wrap the surgical area.

5.No need to worry about place for paraffin bath, which doesn't

require fixed posture.

6.No danger of burns.
