Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a drug free form of pain relief often used by women in labour. It stimulates the release of your body’s own natural painkillers by using a small electrical impulse delivered from a little hand held device. It can be particularly effective in the early stages of labour. The rental duration is 6 weeks, and the device comes complete with spare batteries and accessories.
