Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9945998A1] Flexible and elastic magnetic joint wraps (30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 20) incorporate superstrong magnets with alternating polarities to provide enhanced magnetotherapeutic effects. Magnetotherapeutic joint wraps that are flexible and elastic incorporate superstrong magnets such as those based on iron (magnetic ferrite) or neodymium (particulary neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB)) in order to provide superstrong static magnetism by which magnetotherapy may be effected. Elements that are generally oppositely opposed serve to detachably attach portions of the magnetic wrap to one another so that the magnetic joint wrap may conform to the local shape and form of the area adjacent the joint. Additionally, eye (120) and face masks (150) may incorporate the superstrong magnets as used in the magnetic joint wrap of the present invention of good advantage.
