Introduction:
Its medical instrument used water as a media of heat transmission. Is one of the devices
the task used in physical therapy wide spread and includes the joints of the body and uses the
principle of latent heat through the wax of the type which is a special wax (paraffin), which is a
special kind of prefer to use because it is gaining heat slowly and lose it slowly and to keep the

6. Drain.
1. The coat : The coat is made .استنزاف .6
of aluminum or stainless steel because resisting the mechanical
shocks, resisting the oxidation & rectangle solid shape to be easily placed anywhere. The coat
consists of several surfaces an isolator material prevents heat from getting outside.
2. Fiber glass
There are two type of it first:
a) Brown fiber glass: be somewhat cheap, but it is a dangerous substance because it causes
inflammation' in the chest should be wary of dealing with.
b) Yellow fiber glass:
Available by many and is also a serious but less dangerous than brown, because the
sensitivity and cause him to be careful to wear gloves. The advantage of fiberglass good
insulator of heat and use it in your wax bath due to lack of access of heat from inside the
device to the outside and maintain the internal temperature, [very bad conduction heat so it
is suitable for heat insulation purpose].
3. Wax container : It is a container containing wax[paraffin wax] used in the treatment
process and is made of stainless steel and be mobile in order to ease switch to different parts of
the body.
4. The chamber: The chamber is completely made of aluminum or stainless steel, rectangular
solid shape to suit dealing with various objects, it has thermally insulated from all other part It
also contains a container of water must be distilled water because it contains salt which is
responsible for melting the wax and keep it in a liquid state by heating the water by heater.
5. The shelves (mesh): The mesh is made of aluminum or steel it contains of group of holes to
increase thermal conductivity.
6. Drain: It is water regulator (tube), used to vacuum the water from the chamber, it is used as
manually maintenance or calibration to remove the waste water or uncomforted table water.

2. The heater: The electric heating system is the system in which heating produce by rising of
temperature caused by the passing of electric current through a conductor having a high resistor
to current flow, it is only placed in base of the instrument.
3. Thermostat: Is a sensor of heat connecting directly with heater and the separation of heater
in certain degrees so as to obtain the temperature we need as needed and also used to protect
the device.
4. Temperature indicator. Tows way are used in temperature indicator there are thermometer
and thermocouple & Identified for the internal temperature.
5. Timer: There are two type of timer electrical or mechanical at range 5-60 min given period
of time required for sterilization.
6. Fuse: To protect the circuit from high current, high loads ,short circuts..

• There are three reasons to select paraffin wax:
1. The wax vaporizes in very high temperature. :هناك ثالثة أسباب الختيار شمع البارافني

2. The wax considers low electric connectivity material.

3. The waxes miss the heat slowly& the wax keeps كهربائيةtoاتصال

Method of treatment:
1. Remove watch and rings, in the treatment area, if rings can not be removed, cover them with
several thicknesses of gauze and hold the gauze in place with masking tape.

2. Protect the patient clothing from the paraffin because it causes skin scrape (sensitivity),
3. Explain to the patient that the paraffin will feel hot, but it not burn.
4. Inspect the part to be treated:
a) The skin must be clean into the contaminate the tank. If it is not clean, the patint must be
wash it with soap and water.
b) The skin must be dry and free from perspiration because it may cause burn.
c) The skin must be freefrom draining lesions, rashes and scrathes which must be covered by
gauze.
Advantage of wax bath:
1. Fast, acting, drug, free heat therapy.
2. Proven effective to smooth pain and stiffness.
3. Effective on arthritis, joint stiffness, muscle spasms, dry cracked skin and more.
4. Versatile, safe, and easy to use.
Disadvantage of wax bath:
1. Sedimentation occurs at the bottom of the bath, the bath must be cleaned regularly at least
twice a year.
2. Contamination of the wax by atmospheric dust may occurs unless the lid covers it when not
use.
Faults & repair:
Which is a few faults due to the lack of electrical parts in the device because it does not contain
many electronic parts and faults in this device is (heater -thermostat - sensitive — switch on/off
- fuse) and the repair is to replace damaged parts .
About wax bath:
The principle of operation of the device is heating water and the way you are melting wax is
used in physical therapy and treatment is a natural by immersion may not be possible in some
places access to the immersion are used way Spilling the places to be treated or using the brush
to get to difficult places and prefer to use paraffin wax so as to acquisition of the heat slowly
and the loss of slowly making it a good treatment of the joints to keep them warm for a long
time that the treatment of the wax up (approximately 54 C) .
