The object of the invention is a magnetic arrangement for the treatment of surface near skin or tissue areas of the human body having several mechanically connected magnetic bodies (M.sub.1, M.sub.2) which build an active surface on, or in, the vicinity of which the magnetic field there present is utilized. Use has long been made in therapeutics of flexible magnets of plastic bonded hard ferrite having at least one North and one South pole on their active surface facing the body, whereby the pole configurations are arranged in different ways dependent upon the therapeutic objective. It is thus possible to generate magnetic inductions only in surface near skin or tissue areas. A magnetic arrangement of several magnetic bodies of high coercive field strength with different energy densities is proposed to attain locally restricted higher magnetic inductions.
Magnetic arrangement for therapeutic application, particularly for the treatment of surface near skin or tissue areas of the human body, with at least one first magnetic body (M.sub.1) and at least one second magnetic body (M.sub.2) being mechanically connected to the first, whereby the magnetic bodies (M.sub.1, M.sub.2) show a high coercive field strength, wherein a maximum magnetic energy product value, B.multidot.H, of the first body (M.sub.1) is lower than that of the second body (M.sub.2) and the bodies (M.sub.1, M.sub.2) form an active surface of the magnetic arrangement, said active surface being the surface area of the magnetic arrangement that is brought into contact with the human body.
