These electrical conductors connect a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) device to electrodes placed on the skin. Typically composed of thin, insulated wires terminating in pin connectors, they transmit electrical pulses from the device to the body, completing the circuit necessary for pain relief therapy. An example would be the connection between a portable TENS unit and electrodes positioned on a patient’s lower back.
Effective transmission of these therapeutic pulses is critical for successful pain management. The quality and proper functioning of these conductors directly impact the delivery of electrical stimulation, influencing the effectiveness of the treatment. Historically, advancements in materials science have led to more durable and flexible connections, enhancing patient comfort and the longevity of the equipment.
