Is this just the back belt and you have to have your own electronic Tens device to hook to it?????????

Yes, this is just the Conductive Back Brace by itself. It comes with a snap adapter for where the lead wires of a TENS unit would plug into, and has mesh electrodes sewn in. TENS units are sold separately, but all use the same 2mm pin style lead wire connectors.

Hi, What is the electrode made out of? Does it contain silver & cotton?

The electrode is a sewn-in conductive silver-mesh material.

I have an EMPI Select device. Will it properly power this garment?

Yes, any TENS unit, including your EMPI device, can be used with any Conductive Garment, as the Garments simply serve as an alternative to self-adhesive electrodes, and the connection type for the lead wires is the same throughout.

Is the spray really necessary?

Yes, you do need to use some spray to dampen the sewn-in mesh electrodes prior to each application. Do NOT use conductive garments when dry.

Does it come with its own power supply? If so, does it plug into 115 volt ac?

The Conductive Back Brace is simply an alternative to more conventional self-adhesive electrode pads. It does not come standard with any TENS electrotherapy device, but it is compatible with any TENS unit.

I am looking for an alternative to gel pads as I have become allergic to them and break out in a red, itchy rash. I'm thinking this may be something to try. I just wanted to make sure I understood how this works and that no gel pads are used with this? Thank you.

Correct, there is no adhesive gel used with conductive garments at all. The sewn-in electrodes are made of a conductive silver mesh fabric material that you simply moisten all the way around with either a Conductive Spray or Water, prior to applying to the area of the body you are looking to treat. This makes Conductive Garments much more skin-friendly and reusable compared to more conventional self-adhesive electrode pads.

Questions and Answers

This BodyStim Conductive Back Garment is intended for patients using an electrotherapy treatment, such as with a TENS unit, for low back pain, as an easier and more durable substitute to traditional self-adhesive electrode pads.

For many patients struggling with acute or chronic pain in the lower back, it may be more physically demanding to reach around and comfortably apply disposable electrodes around the pain area, so this conductive back brace allows easier positioning, without requiring assistance from another person.

Furthermore, intended for long term use with a patented conductive mesh electrode material stitched into the brace itself, you no longer have to keep on purchasing replacement electrodes over and over, which only allow a finite number of uses before drying up.

This means more money in your pocket over time, with effective pain relief and greater comfort in your daily life.

Product Features:

Intended for use with any portable or professional-grade TENS electrotherapy device.
Replaces the use of disposable, self-adhesive neurostimulation electrodes for treating back pain.
Made from a comfortable and flexible, light-weight neoprene material.
Superior conductive mesh electrode stitching for long-term care.
Non-abrasive hook-and-loop fastening secure and comfortable placement along the lumbar spine.
Universal fit - one size fits most.

Fits up to 42"
For additional length 15" extender sold separately

Includes 2x detachable snap adapters for lead wire connectivity.

Industry-standard 2mm female pin-style connection for lead wires to plug into.
Compatible with most electrotherapy devices.

1 Year Manufacturer Warranty

This works the best and works well with the tens unit that has the 4 wires with stick patches unit. It eliminates your having to put on the stick patches on your Back which you cannot see well where to place. So you plug into the water sprayed belt and you Velcro the belt around your waist and plug into one side of your portable unit. Sooo much easier to use thus you will use it more often.

It works!

I've used TENS conductive pads for years but within the last couple of years, I was getting a skin rash - either from the rubber in the pad or the conductive gel used on the pads. The pads were also difficult to apply to my back without help. I started looking for "conductive garments" and found this BodyStim Conductive Back Brace. It works well - almost too well! Using pads, I would usually turn my TENS unit up to full blast. This back brace delivers much more stimulation than the pads, so I have to be careful not to turn it up too much. I think the back brace could benefit from some type of ventilation holes. I get hot and sweat under the brace.

Great product!

I highly recommend this! You definitely need to have. Water or conductive spray on your back to use it but as a garden that sounds all day bend over it has made my life so much easier!

MUCH more convenient than stick-on electrodes.

At first I thought the attachment points on the back brace seemed too far apart, but after wearing the brace for a few hours, my back felt SO good. It relaxed all the muscle spasms I had been feeling previously. I'm sold on not having to try sticking electrodes on my back and getting them in just the right place.

This is so comfortable and the large pads cover the area needed. If this were made with blue tooth I'd wear it all day, it is that comfortable! I use this for the gym and hasn't hindered me at all. I recommend!

Damaged Thoracic Back Muscle

I have a damaged muscle in my thoracic back. I have had a TENS unit for years and have had issues with putting the pads on my back. I decided to order this item to make it easier for me to use the TENS on my back. Now I can use it everyday to relieve my pain. It actually works better than the pads I got from the medical supplies companies. I was using my TENS at max power, now I can only handle about half way. It is super easy to put on, but make sure you use the liquid! I forgot when I first got the item, and almost hit the ceiling when I turned it one.

The belt work's great as long as you wet your skin with water or conductive spray. Much better than buying electrodes. I use this for an hour or two every morning .

Mr.

Belt works great. It is much less bulky than the previous version. However, I would suggest that inside of the snap attachment (against the body) be made of rust proof metal as that part has a tendency to rust due to the moisture applied to the pad as well as sweat from the back ltself.

This item helps with placement of conductors on the lower back when it may be difficult to place them separately.
