TENS 7000. That is the only name on the unit.
I got it back around 2008 from workman’s comp.
I have very bad lower back issues. It still works great and I use it a lot. And I recommend to one big butterfly patch instead of positioning 4 pads.
The VA gave me one last year, an Ultima 5. It works OK but the TENS has a little more kick.
Once I let my daughter use the TENS at the bar she worked at, she let the owner try it, then he bought her AND him one. So it was not hard to find.
I just had injections 2 weeks ago, hoping I get a few years from relief from that.
But I use the units on my back, my hip, shoulders, sometime a neck crimp.
It’s a gift from Gawd. Good luck, I think they make my life better and I treasure them both.
One 9 volt battery to operate both and it will last 7-9 hours or so.
