| Disposable Heatbands Hand Warmers - Black Requiring no batteries or charging ever, these ECO-Friendly wrist bands utilise your body's naturally produced heat, re-radiating it back with startling efficiency!
This means that there are absolutely no running costs in helping you keep warm. Disposable Heatbands are a clever yet simple way to help regulate your body temperature.
By helping to prevent the loss of body heat around the wrists (key heat loss area) and radiate some of this heat back in, these heatbands can help raise the temperature and blood flow to the hands. Available in a 14 pack or a 60 pack, these heatbands have been proven invaluable to sufferers of Raynaud's Disease.Raynaud's Disease or Raynaud's Phenomenon
Dr Rob HicksFirst described by Maurice Raynaud in 1862, Raynaud's is thought to affect as many as 10 million people in the UK.
Extreme cases suffering severe pain in the extremities when exposed to temperature change. Also Available:

How The Body Controls Heat LossThe body controls heat loss by tightening the blood vessels under the skin, restricting the flow of blood - to the peripheral blood vessels ('Vasoconstriction'). The development of peripheral vasoconstriction allows a cooler, outer 'shell' to form an insulating barrier that slows heat loss from the body's core. Hands and feet have fewer large blood vessels, and when the flow of blood is restricted it is harder for the blood to keep flowing to these areas which quickly become cold. The wrists, neck, and ankles are areas where blood vessels are very close to the skins surface and it has been found that covering these areas greatly assists in maintaining warmth. These Heatbands use a material that not only prevents heat loss but also can radiate heat back to the customer whilst absorbing any moisture present, in short they can raise the temperature of that area which would assist blood flow and circulation. |
