Description

The Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit (#77615) includes Dura-Stick electrodes, back-support garment belt, disposable 9V battery, two lead wires, user's manual, and a convenient carrying case.

Warranty: 2 Years.

The Primera TENS / NMES Kit is ideal for both home or clinical therapy. It is easily portable and very durable, offering consistent currents for electrotherapy. The TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit is a non-invasive way of controlling acute pain, especially in post-surgical care. NMES (Neuro Muscular Electrial Stimulation) is a way to stimulate the muscles to relieve nerve-related conditions. The unit kit combines eight TENS and six NMES programs for a convenient all-around treatment kit, complete with precision treatments, control over pulse widths and frequencies, and a compact design for portability.

There are four modes with the PRIMERA unit: continuous TENS or normal, Burst Mode, Modulation TENS, or NMES mode. Users can switch between stimulation intensities fairly quickly, and enjoy the convenient garment belt for transport.

Frequently asked questions

Does it offer dual TENS/NMES functionality?

Yes, the Chattanooga Primera is a versatile dual-function electrotherapy device, combining two essential treatment types in one portable unit:

  • TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Used for acute pain control and pain management. The unit includes 8 TENS programs.
  • NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation): Used for muscle stimulation and rehabilitation. The unit includes 6 NMES programs.
Is there an open electrode safety?

Yes, the device has an Open Electrode Detect feature. If an open circuit is detected (like an electrode coming loose), the output resets to zero.

Is this suitable for post-surgical pain management?

Yes, the Chattanooga Primera is specifically engineered for professional-grade performance in managing acute and post-surgical pain. Its versatility makes it an excellent tool for:

  • Home Recovery: A reliable choice for rehabilitation following physical therapy.
  • Non-Invasive Relief: Provides targeted TENS therapy to help manage pain without medication.
  • Muscle Stimulation: Includes NMES programs to assist with nerve-related conditions during your recovery journey.
Does the device allow for precise amplitude adjustments?

Yes, the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit allows for precise adjustment of the pulse amplitude. You can control the intensity from 0 to 80 mA, enabling customized treatment for both pain relief and muscle stimulation.

Does it allow precision control over pulse settings?

Yes, the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit offers precision control over the electrotherapy parameters, allowing you to tailor the treatment exactly to your needs.

You can fully control both the pulse width and frequency within these extensive ranges:

  • Pulse Width: 0 - 250 µs
  • Pulse Frequency: 0 - 150 Hz
Does the kit include accessories?

Yes, the comprehensive kit includes several essential accessories:

  • Dura-Stick electrodes
  • Back-support garment belt
  • Disposable 9V battery
  • Two lead wires
  • User’s manual
  • Carrying case
How many therapy programs are there?

The device features a total of 14 programs:

  • 8 TENS programs for pain management
  • 6 NMES programs for muscle stimulation
Does it use an advanced waveform?

Yes, this device features the proprietary HAN TENS Waveform, which is a key differentiator. This advanced waveform is specifically an asymmetrical, rectangular bi-phasic type, designed to deliver effective treatment while maintaining zero DC current.

Is the device compact and portable?

Yes, the Chattanooga Primera TENS / NMES Kit is designed for maximum portability, making it ideal for use in both clinical and home settings.

Key features that highlight its portability include:

  • Compact Dimensions: The device measures just 108 mm x 62 mm x 26 mm (without the clip), ensuring it is small and easy to handle.
