TENS 3900 Electro Stim Pain Relief Tens Electrotherapy
“TENS” stands for Transcutaneous (passing through the skin) Electrical Nerve Stimulator. Your body’s large nerve fibers are also known as
nociceptive fibers because they do not transmit pain. The TENS unit transmits electrical current along the large nerve fibers, stimulating them to produce counter signals which prevent the pain signals from reaching your brain. These large nerve fibers “close the gate” in the spinal cord,
thus providing pain relief.
Electrode Care
If you are receiving your TENS unit at the time of surgery, you will have sterile electrodes surrounding the surgical site. If they are underneath the dressings, do not attempt to remove them yourself until your physician has removed the dressings or has given you further instructions. Once
the sterile electrodes have been removed or are no longer adhering to your skin, you may then use the reusable electrodes provided in the TENS case, following the instructions below:
Instructions for Reusable Electrodes Application
(Pre or Post-Operation, Chronic I General Pain)
1. Clean skin thoroughly prior to each application of electrodes. Electrodes do not stick well if any lotion, oil, make-up, dirt, etc. is left on skin.
2. Remove the electrodes from the protective liner and apply firmly to skin. Adhesion improves when electrodes reach skin temperature.
3. Insert the pins of the lead wire from the device into the electrode wire connectors.
Removal
1. Lift at edge of electrode pad and peel. Do not pull on the lead wires when removing electrodes - you may damage the electrodes if you do so.
2. Place the electrodes on the protective liner and remove the lead wire by twisting and pulling at the same time.
Care and Storage
1. Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealable bag in a cool, dry place.
2. The life of the electrodes varies depending on skin conditions, storage, frequency of use, type of stimulation, and stimulation site. Electrode life may be extended by carefully following the application instructions above.
Important
1. The electrodes are intended for single-patient use only.
2. Do not apply to broken skin. Should rash occur, discontinue use.
