ELLE TENS

Overview

During the incredible journey of childbirth, effective labor pain management plays a vital role for expecting mothers. As the body undergoes intense changes, optimal pain management becomes paramount. By employing various techniques—such as relaxation methods, breathing exercises, and advanced medical interventions—labor pain management aims to alleviate discomfort and support women in their birthing experience.

The most popular methods currently available, with advancements in medical science, range from C-sections (Cesarean deliveries) to epidural injections. One technique that has been gaining popularity is the ELLE TENS maternity device. This non-invasive, drug-free method can eliminate up to 80% of natural labor pain, offering a painless and stress-free childbirth experience.

Bodyclock, UK, is a leading manufacturer of TENS machines that introduced the revolutionary ELLE TENS device, helping pregnant women worldwide experience a more comfortable labor.

Features & Benefits

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, a technique where electrical current is passed through the skin to the nervous system, thereby reducing pain intensity. ELLE TENS is a drug-free device specifically designed for labor, providing pain relief during natural childbirth.

Award-Winning Design: ELLE TENS is the first maternity TENS device in the world to feature OPTI-MAX TECHNOLOGY, delivering extra bursts of pain relief power when needed most, especially during the final stage of labor.

Safe Electrical Pulses: The device sends small, safe pulses of electrical current via leads to electrode pads placed on the skin. This results in a gentle tingling or buzzing sensation.

Adjustable Intensity: The intensity of the pulses can be increased or decreased based on the pain being experienced, allowing for personalized pain management.

Specifications

Mechanism of Action:

Pain Signal Prevention: Electrical pulses from a TENS machine prevent pain signals from reaching the brain.

Release of Endorphins:

Natural Pain Relievers: TENS pulses stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones, which help relieve pain and boost happiness.

Endorphin Production:

Source: Produced by the neuromuscular system in response to both pleasurable activities (e.g., exercise, sex, laughter) and painful experiences (e.g., twisting an ankle).

Gland Involvement: Released by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

Additional Neurochemicals:

Encephalins: Small peptides that serve as neurotransmitters in the brain, contributing to pain relief.

Psychological Benefits:

Control and Comfort: This dual-action helps mothers-to-be feel more in control during labor, reduces anxiety, and provides distraction from contractions.
