Surgical Implants:

Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally are not heated by the Inferno Wrap™ system. Nevertheless, a person should consult his or her surgeon before receiving such therapy. Certainly discontinue use if a person experiences pain near any implants.

Silicone will absorb energy emitted by the Energy Web™. Implanted silicone or silicone prostheses may be warmed by the treatment. As silicone melts at over 200 degrees Celsius, it should not be adversely affected by the Inferno Wrap™ system; however, it is still advised that a person checks with his or her physician/surgeon to be certain.

Malignancy (Cancer or other Malignant conditions):

Do not use the Inferno Wrap™ without express approval by your physician.

Contraindications

• Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or suspicious that you are pregnant, discontinuation of the Inferno Wrap™ is recommended.
• Haemorrhage: Haemophiliacs and anyone predisposed to haemorrhage should avoid usage of this product or any other type of heating that would create vasodilation, potentially leading to a tendency to bleed.
• Pain: Pain should not be experienced when using the Inferno Wrap™. If pain is experienced, discontinue use of the product.
