i-Pulz
Alleviate your pain with the i-Pulz, a small, portable digital TENS appliance with a range of settings that you can adjust to your needs. The appliance is invisible under your clothes. Users appreciate the simple pushbutton controls.
The i-Pulz has two channels for different stimulation patterns. You can use both channels at the same time, or one of the channels if you so wish. The i-Pulz has 10 pre-configured programs which include the conventional, low-frequency and, obviously, well-known HAN program.
The i-Pulz’s pushbuttons and display are under its flap. You can select the programs and adjust the settings very simply with the pushbuttons. The display shows information including the programs and the intensity.
You can adjust settings including the stimulation time. You and your physician or physiotherapist adjust the appliance’s settings and the duration of the programs. Once you have set the intensity and the keylock is activated the program will begin and the timer will count down to zero.
The i-Pulz is equipped with an attachment clip that makes it simple to wear the appliance under your clothes. You can simply clip the stimulator to your trousers, skirt or belt.

Frequently asked questions
TENS is the abbreviation of ‘Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation’. This treatment is based on the use of weak electrical pulses to alleviate pain.
The TENS appliance is a handy small device with two cables that you attach to the electrodes. You apply these self-adhesive electrodes to your skin. The TENS appliance sends electrical pulses to the electrodes when then pass through the skin.
Important effects of TENS:
– disrupts the nerve transmission of pain, which reduces the pain you feel
– the brain stimulates the production of natural painkillers such as endorphins
– relaxes the muscles
TENS can be prescribed for both acute and chronic pain and pain syndromes. The therapy focuses on general pain signals.
TENS is used in applications including the following:
– Headache
– Lower back pain
– Neck and shoulder pain
– Limb pain
– Many forms of nerve pain
– Vascular pain
– Facial pain
– Phantom pain
– Gout and joint inflammation
Examples of acute pain situations in which TENS may be of use:
– Pain relief during childbirth (MamaTENS)
– Post chirurgical pain and post-traumatic acute pain
– Scar tissue pain
– Some fractures, such as broken ribs.
Nerve stimulation (TENS) does not have any short or long-term harmful physical effects. You must, obviously, comply with the safety instructions
TENS therapy has virtually no side effects. Skin irritation may occur due to an allergic reaction to the electrodes used with the appliance. Van Lent Systems has a very broad and large range of skin-friendly electrodes to combat skin irritation problems.
In some cases, the body may become accustomed to long-term daily use of nerve stimulation. This accustomization can result in lower production of endorphins.
