Perfect mamaTENS
The intensity of contractions varies from one expectant mother to another. In the third trimester, the uterus begins to prepare for delivery: the uterus begins to contract in the form of pre-contractions and practice contractions. Many pregnancies are supported with some form of pain management from this point forward.
Perfect mamaTENS provides pain relief from that point until delivery in a safe and effective way by drowning out the pain signals in the nerves in the back. In this way, a pregnancy proceeds with less pain and smoother.
Due to less pain during this period, it remains possible for the user to remain mobile. This ensures that the last weeks of pregnancy can be continued with less stress and helps with the descent and dilation during pregnancy. During labor you control the pain yourself by controlling the intensity of the device and the boost button for extra pain relief.
Childbirth TENS can also be used to relieve low back pain during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy, to relieve post-operative pain following caesarean section, perineal tear or episiotomy.
