MINI TENS

About MINI TENS

• Portability: The defining characteristic. Typically small and lightweight (e.g., pocket-sized, weighing under 0.5 kg).

• Channels: Most commonly dual-channel, allowing for the use of two pairs (four total) of electrode pads simultaneously to target multiple pain areas or a larger area. Some very basic models might be single-channel.

• Power Source: Usually powered by batteries (e.g., AAA, 9V, or rechargeable lithium-ion batteries) for cordless operation, or in some cases, a DC adapter for mains power.

• Electrodes: Comes with self-adhesive, reusable electrode pads (often gel-based) and lead wires to connect the pads to the unit.

• Modes/Programs: Offers various pre-set treatment modes (e.g., Burst, Normal/Constant, Modulation, Conventional, Pulse Width Modulation, Sweep, Diadynamic) to provide different types of stimulation for various pain conditions. Some advanced models might offer a wider range of programs or even manual customization.
• Adjustable Parameters:
  • Intensity/Amplitude: Adjustable output current (e.g., 0-100 mA) to control the strength of the electrical pulses.

  • Pulse Rate/Frequency: Adjustable frequency (e.g., 2-250 Hz) to control how many electrical pulses are delivered per second.
  • Pulse Width/Duration: Adjustable pulse width (e.g., 50-300 microseconds) to control the duration of each electrical pulse.

  • Timer: Often includes an adjustable treatment timer (e.g., 15, 30, 60 minutes, or continuous operation) with auto shut-off.

• Display: Typically features an LCD display for easy viewing of settings and remaining treatment time.

• Controls: User-friendly buttons or soft-touch keys for adjusting parameters and selecting modes.

Typical Applications:

• Pain Relief: Effective for a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions, including:
  • Back pain (lower back, sciatica)

  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Joint pain (arthritis, knee, elbow, wrist)

  • Muscle soreness, spasms, and tension

  • Sports injuries (sprains, strains)

  • Headaches/migraines

  • Period pain

  • Post-operative pain (under medical guidance)
• Muscle Relaxation: Helps to relax tense muscles.
• Improved Blood Circulation: Can contribute to better blood flow in the treated area.

Benefits:

• Drug-Free Pain Management: Provides a non-invasive alternative or adjunct to medication.

• Convenience: Easy to use at home, work, or while traveling.
• Customizable Therapy: Allows users to tailor treatment to their specific pain and comfort levels.

• Affordable: Generally a cost-effective solution for long-term pain management.
