Tips for Buying a Nerve Stimulator

1. An electronic stimulus generator and two or four electrodes are recommended to be included in the TENS unit.

2. If the unit is battery-powered, a low-battery alarm should indicate visibly and audibly on low voltage. The unit should use common batteries that are easy to replace.

3. The unit's pulse should be adjustable to a width from 10-to 1,000 µsec and pulse rate from 0.5 to 150 mA, based on clinician orders and patient preferences. These are recommended according to commonly used settings in clinical applications; individual responses to treatment may require a unit that can perform outside the range of these specifications.

4. Patients may respond differently to various models of units because pain is subjective.

5. Battery-powered units may be considered. These could use rechargeable or disposable batteries.

6. Facilities may wish to purchase more than one type of unit. Suppliers often offer quantity discounts.
