Description
MamaTENS is used throughout labour to help suppress the pain experienced during all stages of labour. It is particularly effective in early labour. It works by stimulating your body’s own natural defences against pain for safe, drug-free pain relief. The MamaTENS unit transmits gentle electrical impulses through your skin via four self-adhesive pads, positioned on your back. These gentle impulses attack pain in two ways: by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body’s own pain-relieving hormones, and by stimulating the nerves to block pain signals before they reach the brain.
