Infrared heaters relieve cold mouse hand pain

Hand pain associated with computer work is a common condition, especially for people who spend most of their day sitting and working at a computer using a computer mouse.  To relieve the pain, a person either stops working or finds a solution.  Infrared heaters are available to help relieve cold hand pain associated with using a computer mouse.  A heated warm mouse and a heated warm mouse pad both contain a carbon fibre heating filament which heat up quickly to produce a healthy, healing computer hand environment.

An infrared heater is a body with a higher temperature which transfers energy to a body with a lower temperature through electromagnetic radiation. The most common filament material used for electrical infrared heaters is tungsten wire, which is coiled to provide more surface area. Low temperature alternatives for tungsten are carbon, or alloys of iron, chromium and aluminum (brand name ‘kanthal’). While carbon filaments are more fickle to produce, they heat up much quicker than a comparable medium-wave heater based on a FeCrAl filament.  Theoretically, the efficiency of an infrared heater is 100% as it converts nearly all electrical energy into heat in the filament. The filament then emits its heat by infrared radiation that is directly or via a reflector impinging on the product to be heated.

An USB heated warming mouse uses infrared radiation to directly heat the user.  IR heaters are used to provide warmth to suckling animals whose mother cannot or will not provide them with natural warmth as well as to captive animals in zoos or veterinary clinics, especially for lizards and other reptiles, and tropical animals such as birds.

What is infrared?
Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The radiation hits the surface of the body and heats through a process called conversion, instead of heating the air around you.

Infrared promoters state that infrared radiant heat is safe and beneficial, claiming that the heat penetrates into the body. The argument is based on the idea that the wavelengths of far infrared waves are typically between 5.8 and 1000 micrometers.  The infrared rays help knock toxins from the body, and those toxins are then released through the skin. They claim this heals and stimulates tissues, and that it is effective therapy for arthritis and tissue injuries.
