Short Description
The Chattanooga Intelect TENS Basic is a professional-grade, dual-channel device for effective pain relief. This analog-style unit features 3 stimulation modes (Burst, Normal, Modulation) and adjustable pulse parameters. Lightweight and portable, the 2026 kit includes lead wires, electrodes, a 9V battery, and a hard carrying case.
The Chattanooga Intelect TENS Basic is the essential choice for reliable, non-invasive pain management. Designed as a straightforward, analog-style solution, the "Basic" model provides the same high-quality clinical output as more expensive units without unnecessary complexity. It is specifically engineered for symptomatic relief of chronic, intractable pain and acute post-traumatic or post-surgical pain.
Intelect TENS Basic Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual Independent Channels: Control two electrode pairs separately to target different pain sites or cover a larger area (e.g., lower back and shoulder) simultaneously.
-
Three Clinically Proven Modes:
-
Normal: Constant stimulation for immediate "Gate Control" pain relief.
-
Burst: Low-frequency, rhythmic pulses to trigger endorphin release.
-
Modulation: Automatically varies pulse width and rate to prevent your body from building a tolerance (accommodation) to the therapy.
-
-
Analog Simplicity: Easy-to-use dials allow for precision adjustment of frequency ($2\text{–}150\text{ Hz}$) and pulse duration ($60\text{–}250\text{ µs}$) without navigating complex digital menus.
-
Protective Design: Features a sliding "flip-cap" cover that hides the control dials, preventing accidental intensity changes while the unit is in your pocket or clipped to a belt.
-
Medical Grade Build: Trusted by physical therapists for its durability in both clinical environments and home use.
Intelect TENS: Basic vs. Standard
While both units share the same durable chassis and clinical waveforms, the Basic model is the streamlined version of the Intelect line.
-
The Basic: Focuses on continuous, manual-controlled therapy. It is the go-to for users who want a "set it and forget it" device that is ready to work the second you turn the dial.
-
The Standard: Includes an integrated timer for specific 30- or 60-minute sessions.
