According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, Electric Heating Pouches are medical apparatus, namely, electric heating devices for curative treatment.

The U.S. FDA, classifies the Heating Pouch as a Class II Medical Device.

Heating Pouches are sometimes mislabeled as "heating pads"; however, heating pads are—by definition—flat; whereas, Heating Pouches are contoured or curved.

In order to achieve the geometric design, three uniquely-made heating pads are placed within a pvc pouch to form a scoop-like shape.

Heating Pouches are made specially for the human body joints, specifically the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle and wrist/hand. The curvature of the Pouch enables the user to completely cover these joints; whereas flat heating pads cannot conform to the curved joints.
