The hydrocollator, first introduced in 1947 by the Chattanooga Pharmaceutical Company, consists of a thermostatically controlled water bath for placing bentonite-filled cloth heating pads. When the pads are removed from the bath, they are placed in covers and placed on the patient. The device is primarily used by athletic trainers and physical therapists.
