An insulated case designed to keep medical pads warm and in a condition ready for application over a period of hours. The case typically includes a cover, multiple internal containers and a source of controlled heat to warm the pads. The pads, after being saturated with a medication such as alcohol, are stored in the internal containers where they are raised in temperature by the controlled heat source to a predetermined temperature range and maintain within that temperature range. At the same time, the vapor pressure is maintained at a level within the internal containers to prevent the escape of the alcohol from the pads through evaporation. The safety features of this apparatus include an over temperature alarm and automatic shut off as well as an over pressure alarm and vent, all of which operate even when there is a power failure. Internal containers are individually insulated and are removable for transport to wherever they are needed. Each internal container includes a temperature sensing device which indicates whether the pads are still within the desired temperature range after they have been removed from the source of controlled heat.
