Effective skin care is especially important in order to
ensure comfortable use of your tens 1000 s unit.
• Always wash the areas of skin where the electrodes are to be
placed using mild soap and water. Thoroughly wash off any
soap remains and carefully dry the skin before using an elec-
trode.
• To ensure effective contact between the skin and the electrode,
excess hair should be cut but not shaved off prior to treatment.
• You may prepare the skin with a skin care product recommen-
ded by your doctor. After applying it, let it dry before attaching
the electrodes as described. This will reduce the likelihood of skin
irritation and prolong the life of your electrodes.
• Avoid excessive pulling of the skin when attaching the elec-
trodes. The best way to achieve this is to place the electrode on
the skin and carefully smooth it out from the centre outwards.
• When removing the electrodes, always pull them off in the direc-
tion of hair growth.
• It may be helpful to apply a skin cream to the area being treated
while the electrodes are not being worn.
