New Cefar Femina TeNS Stimulator
For Woman - Before, During and After Childbirth
Product Introduction:
Today TeNS is commonly used for pain relief during labour and has proved to be effective particularly in the early stages. However a number of users find their TeNS units deliver moderate and sometime inconsistent pain relief.
Lotta Hart, Product Manager with Cefar Medical, who have 30 years experience developing professional TeNS explains:
 |
'For effective pain relief during labour a TeNS unit requires the electrical current to penetrate the skins natural resistance - 1000 to 1500 Ohms. The Cefar Femina can penetrate this resistance and maintain a current of up to 60 mA with a change in load of 100 to 1500 Ohms. Unfortunately many models currently on the market only produce 500 Ohms resistance resulting in a less effective and spasmodic pain relief.
Over the years Cefar have received numerous requests from maternity TeNS users asking if we can develop a unit with more features and uses. Hiring or purchasing a quality unit purely for pain relief during labour can be time consuming and costly' |
It gives me great pleasure to introduce NEW Cefar Femina specifically developed for use before, during and after childbirth.
The new Cefar Femina delivers professional clinically supported functions and comes with 5 CLINICALLY PROVEN programs. It is SAFE to use with NO SIDE EFFECTS to mother or baby. (Pregnant woman should not use Cefar Femina during the first trimester (12 weeks) and should consult a doctor, midwife or physiotherapist prior to use)

Five Clinically Proven Programs
|
Program 1: Pain Relief During Childbirth
This program is used with the handswitch so you can control your own pain relief. By pressing the button you switch between basic stimulation (between contractions) and intensive stimulation (during contractions). Cefar clinical trials show that the Femina is extremely effective in the early stages of labour. In the latter stages you may wish to combine your Femina with another form of pain relief. Femina works well with all forms of pain relief with no side effects
Cefar Tip:
Get acquainted with your Femina: Whilst the unit is very easy to use we recommend mothers start using the Femina a few weeks before their delivery date. This gives you the opportunity to understand how TeNS should feel. You are therefore more likely to achieve the right levels of intensity for your most effective pain relief. |

Program 2: During and After Pregnancy - Pain Relief Pelvis, Back and Neck
This program can be used whenever you feel pain in your pelvis, back, neck or shoulders during and after pregnancy. These kinds of pain are common during pregnancy due to the increased strain on your body and hormonal changes. Femina provides effective relief from these pains and may sometimes be sufficient on its own. It can also be used as a valuable compliment to other forms of treatment, e.g. physical exercise.
Cefar Tip:
When you start breastfeeding, the body reacts with after-contractions of the uterus. This can be as painful as contractions experienced during delivery and your Femina can provide immediate pain relief. Place 2 electrodes on the area of pain and start stimulation before each breastfeeding session. The placement of the electrodes should be lower back or groin area |
|
Program 3: During and After Pregnancy - Massage
This program can be used during pregnancy and following birth when muscles are tense. A common reaction to stress and strain on the body is muscular tension, often located in the back, neck or shoulders. The Femina massage program induces muscle vibrations that will help tense muscles relax and improve circulation
Cefar Tip:
This will be one of your favourites. A very enjoyable and relaxing program which will help reduce your stress levels, anytime, anywhere |
|
Program 4: During and After Pregnancy - Circulation
This program can be used to relieve tired and swollen legs which usually occur in the latter stages of pregnancy. These symptoms can also arise from standing or sitting in one position for a long period of time. The Femina produces a muscular pumping effect that increases circulation in the pelvic area and lymphatic systems. This helps removal of waste products and excessive fluids from the treated area.
Cefar Tip:
This product is also very effective during and after long haul flights. Good to know that when you return to normality your Femina will still be with you |
|
Program 5: After Pregnancy - Now Get Back in Shape
This muscle stimulation program is designed to get you back in shape after giving birth. To restore your body to its pre-pregnancy shape you have to do exercises that strengthen your back, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. The Femina induces muscle contractions that will help you regain muscle strength, vigour and elasticity. For best results use your Femina in conjunction with an exercise program.
Cefar Tip:
The Femina is perfect for targetting your abdominal muscles which are difficult to strengthen with a normal exercise routine particularly when you have just gone through childbirth. |

To Conclude:
The new Femina's development has been influenced by Cefar's medical background. We have developed a quality premium TeNS unit that will deliver meaningful benefits to help mum Before, During and After Childbirth |
