Product Description ------------------- Everybody suffers from pain at some stage of their lives, but not everybody wants to tackle it by taking endless drugs and experiencing invasive surgical procedures. An effective, powerful alternative is the medically-approved electrotherapy known as TENS. TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It consists of a small unit, attached to the body via electrode pads, through which a harmless electrical signal is passed. The sensation is not painful or unpleasant, and can be likened to "pins and needles", or even gentle massage. This signal triggers the nerve endings, activating the pain gate and boosting the release of endorphins. The pain gate effectively stops pain signals from reaching the brain, whilst endorphins are the body's own natural defensive mechanism to ease pain. TENS is used by physiotherapists, doctors and midwives, as well as individual patients with varying degrees of pain. In the past, TENS units were clunky, stationary, expensive and difficult to adjust. Modern advancements in TENS research means that Tene are able to provide you with convenient, inexpensive, hospital-strength technology to use in the comfort of your own home. The TouchTENS represents incredible value; an extremely powerful TENS unit, at an affordable price for everyday use. Using digital technology, it operates at the touch of a button with precise settings, doing away with the of fiddling with dials and buttons. The seven clinically-researched preset programmes offer against the pain caused by almost all conditions, from and back pain to sciatica and cancer. With two independently-controlled channels, the TouchTENS can be used with either two or four electrodes simultaneously. Although it is supplied with standard 50x50mm pads, its universal electrode fittings mean that it can be used with pads of different shapes and sizes, depending on the type and location of your pain. Each channel offers 15 levels of intensity, allowing the unit to be easily set at the level which you find most comfortable. The additions of a timer, two-way belt clip, lock button and two-year guarantee mean that the TouchTENS is a simple, practical way to manage your pain. The TouchTENS is entirely safe, even with long-term use. The nature of this product means that, unlike many ceutical alternatives, it can be used constantly with no threat of overdose, addiction or unwanted side-effects. The TouchTENS can be used on every member of the family (for under 12s, please consult your doctor) and is fully compatible with other types of medication. IMPORTANT: If you suffer from epilepsy or a heart rhythm problem, are fitted with a pacemaker, or your pain is undiagnosed, you should NOT use the TouchTENS. You may wish to discuss your options with your doctor or spet. If you are pregnant, the TouchTENS must not be used during the first 37 weeks, or on the abdomen at any point, as it may induce early labour. Please note that the TouchTENS is not a maternity TENS. For pain in labour, we recommend the MamaTENS, which is also available from . UPDATE! Tene are pleased to announce that we have upgraded the Touch TENS machine to offer: - New, clearer display - Smaller intensity steps- 60 steps instead of 15-to give a gentle increase of stimulation and better control - Open circuit detection- if the pads or leads come loose the unit automatically reduces intensity to zero to prevent unpleasant stimulation - Automatic keypad lock - Separate ON/OFF button on side of unit - New Additional Programme, now 8 programmes. Han stimulation programme- Prof Han published research demonstrating that this provided the most effective pain PLEASE NOTE: The electrode pads need to be applied to the skin before the intensity increase buttons will operate. If the Touch TENS detects the unit is not properly connected to you, so if the pads or leads come loose then the unit switches the intensity to zero. This safety feature prevents any unpleasant changes in output. The strength control buttons will not operate until the unit is properly connected to you. TENS is recommended by NHS choices for the of:- Back Pain, Osteo pain, Rheumatoid pain, Frozen shoulder, Spondylitis, Period Pain, Osteoporosis pain. In case of any Issues: 1 I can't feel any sensation from the machine. Have you applied all four electrode pads to your skin? You will not feel any sensation from touching one pads or by having one pad applied to the skin. The electrodes work in pairs and the current flows between two pads. Using just one pad means there isn't a complete circuit. Please note: Skin needs to be clean and dry, any oil based creams can ruin the electrode pads self-adhesive gel. Electrode pads need to be applied firmly to the skin. Hair may need to be shaved in some cases. How high have you increased the intensity? Perhaps the intensity set is too low? The TouchTENS machines maximum intensity is 60.0mA. The machine increases in very small steps allowing the machine to give a gentle increase of stimulation and better control. You will need to keep increasing the intensity until you can feel the stimulation and use on a comfortable level for you. The strength of the stimulation needed will vary depending on where the pads are placed. Have you made sure that the lead wires are plugged into the bottom of the unit correctly? 2 The intensity buttons will not operate therefore will not increase the intensity. The strength control buttons will not operate until the unit is properly connected to the skin. The electrode pads need to be applied to the skin and the leadwires connected between the electrode pads and the machine. If the Touch TENS detects the unit is not properly connected to you, so if the pads or leads come loose then the unit switches the intensity to zero. This safety feature prevents any unpleasant changes in output. 3 The machine will not turn on? Have the batteries been fitted correctly? Do they need replacing? Are you using the correct batteries? The TouchTENS machine requires 2x AA Alkaline 1.5V batteries. Indications ----------- Use for drug free pain .
