nerves that enter the spine at the
same level as the nerve carrying
your pain. Since you don't know
exactly where your nerves are, the
easiest way is to apply the electrode
pads around/near the source of the
pain.
• TENS activates the nerves best if it
travels along the nerve rather than
across it. So place one pad further
from the spine than the source of the
pain, and one closer.
• The nerves wrap around the limbs
and torso, so you may have to try a
few positions before you get the best
effect.
• If the pain is in, or close to, your
spine you can place one pad either
side of the spine.
• You may feel more sensation in one
pad than the other. This is normal –
it depends on where the electrode
pads are in relation to your nerves.
For areas that are difficult to reach, why
not ask a friend to help you attach the
electrode pads?
Always check that the unit is OFF
before
attaching
electrode pads.
Note:
See
positioning in the instructions
enclosed with your electrode
pads.
8.2. PAD ADVICE
• The electrode pads supplied are
reusable but for single patient use.
The adhesive is a peelable hydrogel
(water based).

• In

to
obtain
conductivity through the electrode
pads always ensure that they are in
good condition and tacky.
• Before use make sure your skin is
clean and dry.
• Peel the electrode pads from their
protective plastic shield by holding
and lifting one corner of the pad and
pulling. Do not pull on the pigtail wire
of the pad.
• After
use
always
electrode pads on the plastic liner
and replace them in the re-sealable
plastic bag.
• If the electrode pads dry out, then it
is best to buy a replacement pack. In
an emergency, it may be possible to
restore some of the tackiness of the
pad by adding a tiny drop of water on
each pad and spreading around. If
too much water is added, the
electrode pad will become too soft. If
that happens then it is suggested in
order to try and re-establish some
adhesiveness, to place them sticky
side up in a refrigerator for a few
hours.
• In very hot weather the gel on the
electrode pads may become soft. In
such cases place them, still on their
plastic liners and in their pouch into
a fridge until they return to their
normal condition.
• The electrode pads provided are
latex-free.
• Replace the electrode pads when
they lose their stickiness.
