What is a TENS Unit?

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a method of pain relief involving the use of a mild electrical current.

A TENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes.

You can attach the pads directly to your skin. Once on, the small electrical impulses are delivered to the affected area of your body, which you feel as a tingling sensation.

The electrical impulses can help to reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, and may also stimulate the production of endorphins(the body's natural painkillers).

An affordable and dependable TENS Unit is The Liberty Made™ TENS 3.  

About the TENS 3:

The Liberty Made™ TENS 3 is a high quality TENS unit that uses the newest technology of a microprocessor, which gives exact dial performance. The TENS 3 has the ease of operation of an analog unit with the accuracy of a digital unit! The TENS 3 comes standard with a Safety Amplitude Cap, which is a transparent pivot­ing cap that closes over the amplitude knobs to help protect the user from power jolts from accidental knob movements.

The TENS 3 is a dual-channel device with 3 modes of operation (B,N,M). Both its pulse width and frequency are adjustable. It also comes equipped with a 30, 60, and 90 minute timer. Case included.

Technical Specifications:

  • Channel: Dual, isolated between channels
  • Pulse Amplitude: Adjustable, 0-80 mA peak into 500 ohm load each channel
  • Pulse Rate: Adjustable, from 2 to 150 Hz
  • Pulse Width: Adjustable, from 30 to 260 microseconds
  • Modulation Mode: Pulse rate is automatically varied in a cyclic pattern over an interval of nominally 10 seconds (in max 1150 Hz). Pulse rate decreases linearly over a period of 4 seconds from the control setting value to a value which is 40% less. The lower pulse rate will continue for 1 second. Then increase linearly over a 4 second period to its original value. The original pulse rate will continue for 1 second. The cycle is then repeated.
  • Burst Mode: Bursts occur twice every second. Pulse width (adjustable), frequency=100 Hz
  • Wave Form: Asymetrical Bi-Phasic Square Pulse
  • Timer: 15, 30 minutes or Continue
  • Voltage: 0 to 40 V (Load: 500 ohm)
  • Max. Charge per pulse: 20 micro-coulombs
  • Power Supply: One 9-volt battery (alkaline, or nickel-cadmium rechargable)
  • Battery Life: Approximately 50 hours at nominal settings
  • Size: 95 (H) x 65 (W) x (23.5 (T) mm
  • Weight: 115 grams (battery included)
