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.
