Magnetic treatment device and method

Abstract

A magnetic treatment device includes a fabric core embedded within an elastic body comprising an elastic material such as latex. Magnetic powder particles are embedded within the elastic layer and are magnetically oriented along predetermined flux lines. A first modified embodiment includes an elastic core with memory plastic and vinyl layers bonded thereto. The core and the vinyl layers have magnetic powder particles embedded therein. The magnetic flux lines can be oriented longitudinally and/or transversely with respect to the device. Other modified embodiments include mousepad and keyboard wrist support configurations. A magnetic treatment method includes the steps of embedding magnetic particles in an elastic base with a fabric core, magnetically orienting the particles and applying a strip formed by the method to a body part of a patient.
