SurgiMed supplies a wide range of surgical and medical products as well as consumables to the healthcare environment. TENS units or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation units are pain relief devices used in a wide range of healthcare settings to provide relief from acute and chronic pain in the body. TENS units are non-invasive devices that gently stimulate the nerve ends with pulses to block the pain signals from transmitting to the brain. These pain relief devices are used in hospitals and rehabilitation clinics worldwide to treat pain symptoms in the muscle, joint, limb, neck and back. TENS units are also effective for treating rheumatoid or osteoarthritis pain. These drug-free pain relieving systems allow users to have independent control over pain management.
TENS machines are supplied with a sealed set of electrodes, two cables, 9V battery and a protective pouch. These portable systems can be worn with a belt clip to allow free movement of the user. TENS units come with two independently controlled channels to treat two different areas separately. Obstetric TENS units are used to alleviate labour pains as well as afterbirth pains and are considered safe for use on new mothers and babies.
