Abstract
A conforming heating pad having a curvilinear Y-shaped recess has a pair of opposed curved wing sections surrounding a centralized opening occupied by a central flap portion created by the Y-shaped recess. A pair-of opposed multi-layer constructions housing a resistive NTC sensing wire and a plurality of individual weights serve to enhance the conformity of the heating pad. The heating pad is operable in at least two modes, including a constant heating level mode at various user-selectable temperature levels and a timed mode that offers user-selectable temperature levels over a user-selectable period of time. The heating pad can be wetted to offer a moist heat therapy.
