Labour TENS Machine Hire

TENS stands for “Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation”. It is a non-invasive self-controlled form of pain relief that is used extensively around the world. Labour TENS (also known as Obstetric TENS) is a portable device that is specifically designed for pain relief during labour and is safe to use during the entire birthing process.

What are some of the advantages of using Labour TENS

  • Drug-free, non-invasive pain control
  • You stay in control of your pain, which will lead to a less stressful and more positive birthing experience
  • No side effects or drowsiness for you or the baby
  • Pain relief at the push of a button
  • Can be used in the comfort of your own home in the early stages of labour and continued while at the hospital
  • Does not restrict you into one position for labour, so you can move around freely
  • Can be used in conjunction with other pain-relief techniques or drugs
