Description
The Obi TENS is simple, versatile and perfect for those painful moments during labour. It is one of the most effective, portable, affordable TENS machines available today.
This easy to use TENS offers maximum pain relief during labour and beyond. All the settings are pre-set so there is no fuss in setting up. It has an integrated booster button which at the onset of a contraction can be pressed for a surge of pain-combating power.
The Obi TENS can also be used for post labour pain such as shoulder, back, period pain and much more.
Waiting for that big day to finally arrive is exciting, but it is perfectly natural to feel a little apprehensive. You will be thinking about how to make giving birth as easy as possible – preparation is essential.
Babycare TENS has become the most popular choice for mums-to-be as it is specifically designed to combat pain during childbirth. This is a safe, effective drug-free method of pain relief, which still allows you to use other analgesics, such as pethidine or gas-and-air if you wish.
What is TENS? TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, and has successfully been used for many years by pregnant women and professional midwives worldwide to treat labour pain.
How does the Obi TENS work? At the onset of labour, simply apply the 4 pads to your back as shown in the accompanying instructions and switch the TENS unit on. You will feel a pleasant pulsing sensation. This will help to raise the level of your own pain relieving chemicals known as endorphins. When experiencing a contraction, press the boost button for the extra surge of power needed to combat the pain. When the contraction ends, press the boost button again – it’s that simple!
