WiTouch Pro Tens Device for Pain Management

Millions of people worldwide suffer from chronic back pain in the lumbar spine. One of the most important treatment methods is the TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) electrotherapy, which uses small electrical nerve-stimulating pulses to provide non-invasive drug-free pain relief.

The WiTouch Pro is a TENS unit that is designed without the cumbersome battery packs and wired electrodes typical of traditional devices of this kind. The innovative wireless unit integrates all necessary elements in a compact and aesthetically appealing housing.

A complex dual overmoulded body assembly ensures that the highly flexible electrode wings comfortably hug the body’s contours. Thus, the device is easy to transport and can be worn discreetly underneath the clothes for long periods. The WiTouch Pro is intuitively operated, also via remote control, it is pleasant to the touch and highly flexible in use.

A combination of low-energy wireless chips and an intelligent software design allows for cost-efficient use even over a long period of time. It provides new treatment qualities for individual pain relief and a high degree of mobility.

As a result of this grounbreaking innovation and research, the WiTouch Pro has been awarded the “red dot: best of the best”  2013 and the award for "Best in Category, Medical & Scientific" at Australian International Design Awards for 2013.

The WiTouch Pro has 20% higher intensity output than typical portable TENS devices available today and 2.5 times larger treatment area coverage. In addition the WiTouch Pro has the following:

Features:

• Thin, flexible and discreet – wear under your clothing for hours of pain relief when you need it
• No wires, bulky back wraps or belts
• Easy to use, self-applicable and ready to use out of the box – no complicated programs and settings to learn or adjust
• Wireless handheld remote control
• As powerful as professional equipment with onboard controls for clinical application:
• Operates with or without remote control
• Drug-Free with No Side Effects
• Over 150 30-minute treatments before changing batteries (device takes 2x AAA batteries)
• Replaceable Gel Pads for multiple applications availalble. One pair required for each application and available in pack of 5 (10 in total).
• Device colour varies from green to orange.

What is TENS ?

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.

TENS is a non-invasive, low-risk nerve stimulation intended to reduce pain, both acute and chronic.

TENS has been used as a solution for back pain for over 25 years and has been studied extensively to demonstrate its benefits. In a meta-analysis of studies examing the use of TENS therapy Johnson & Martinson* published a review of 39 randomised controlled trials. They concluded that the studies demsonstrate a "highly significant reduction in pain with the use of ENS (TENS) compared to placebo controls". In addition Fishbain et. al.* found that 376 chronic pain patients who had used TENS therapy for 6 months or more reported average satisfaction and comfort ratings of 8.19 and 8.35 out of 10 respectively.
