Good2Go Microwave Heat Pack - Neck (Model 492)
Good2Go Microwave Heat Pack — Neck 5" × 16" — Cervical Moist Heat Therapy (Model 492)
Cordless moist heat therapy shaped for the neck and cervical area. No cords, no outlets, no water needed. The patented non-allergenic crystal fill traps up to 40% of its weight in atmospheric moisture and releases it as therapeutic steam when microwaved. Multi-ply cover with vapor barrier directs maximum heat to where you need it most. Cloud-soft fleece for comfort on sensitive neck tissue. By Battle Creek Equipment Company — makers of Thermophore since 1931.
☀ Designed for the Neck — Cordless Moist Heat, No Water Needed
At 5" × 16" the Model 492 is proportioned to drape naturally across the neck and cervical region. The multi-ply cover includes a vapor barrier that focuses moist heat toward the body rather than dissipating it outward. No strap — this wrap rests in place by weight and shape, keeping therapy simple and hands-free.
About the Good2Go Neck Model 492
The Model 492 is the neck-specific Good2Go — 5" × 16" and proportioned to drape across the cervical region. Where the 491 Medium uses a strap for knee and joint positioning, the 492 Neck wraps naturally and rests in place, making it the simplest Good2Go to use.
The patented crystal fill is what sets Good2Go apart from grain-filled or gel alternatives. The crystals absorb atmospheric moisture between uses — up to 40% of their weight — and release it as therapeutic steam when microwaved. The crystals will not decay, develop unpleasant odors, or support the growth of fungus, mold, or bacteria. Non-allergenic. Non-toxic.
The multi-ply cover includes a vapor barrier layer that directs maximum moist heat toward the neck rather than dissipating outward. The cloud-soft fleece exterior is gentle on sensitive cervical tissue. Natural moist heat blocks pain signals, relaxes muscle tissue, and increases circulation to enhance the body's own healing.

How the Crystal Fill Produces Moist Heat
Between uses, the porous crystal fill absorbs humidity from the surrounding air — trapping up to 40% of its weight in atmospheric moisture. No water is added.
When microwaved, that stored moisture activates as therapeutic steam inside the pack.
The vapor barrier in the multi-ply cover directs maximum moist heat toward the neck rather than dissipating it outward.
Moist heat penetrates deeper than dry heat — blocking pain signals, relaxing cervical muscle tissue, and increasing circulation to enhance the body's natural healing.
How To Use
Microwave in 30-second cycles only — check temperature between each cycle. Do not overheat.
Test temperature on inner wrist before applying to the neck.
Drape the heated pack across the neck. The 5" × 16" shape rests in place naturally — no strap required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Model 492 designed for?
The Model 492 is specifically designed for the neck and cervical area. At 5" × 16" it drapes naturally across the neck without a strap. The multi-ply cover with vapor barrier focuses moist heat toward the neck for targeted therapy.
Does the Model 492 come with a strap?
No. Unlike the 490 Large and 491 Medium, the Neck 492 has no elastic strap. The 5" × 16" shape is proportioned to drape and rest in place naturally across the neck — no strap is needed for positioning.
What is the vapor barrier and why does it matter?
The multi-ply cover includes an outer vapor barrier layer that directs maximum moist heat toward the body rather than allowing it to dissipate outward. This focuses the therapeutic steam from the crystal fill precisely where it is needed — into the neck and cervical tissue.
How does the Good2Go produce moist heat without water?
The patented crystal fill absorbs up to 40% of its weight in atmospheric moisture between uses. When microwaved, that stored moisture activates as therapeutic steam. No water, spray bottles, or damp towels needed.
How long does the heat last?
Approximately 20–30 minutes per session depending on microwave heating time and ambient conditions. Allow to cool completely before reheating.
How is the Good2Go different from a Thermophore heating pad?
The Good2Go is cordless and portable — heat in the microwave and use anywhere with no outlet. Thermophore electric pads plug into a wall outlet and deliver higher sustained temperatures (up to 165–170°F) with a 25-minute auto shutoff. Choose Good2Go for portability. Choose Thermophore for maximum heat intensity and sustained stationary moist heat therapy.
