A hydrocollator is a therapeutic device used in physical therapy that provides moist heat treatment. It typically consists of a tank filled with water and heating elements that maintain the water at a specific temperature, allowing for the heating of gel packs or moist heat packs. These packs are then applied to the patient's body to help relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation and healing. Hydrocollators are commonly used in rehabilitation settings for various musculoskeletal conditions.
