Abstract: Magnet spirals for therapeutic application with a minimum one foil strip made of a rubber-type flexible, preferably skin compatible, plastic which is coiled up along its lengthwise dimension in the form of a spiral, whereby the foil strip is magnetically polarized in an axial (perpendicular) direction relative to its longer lateral faces prior to coiling. The longer lateral faces of the foil strip are magnetically polarized in an axial direction of the foil—that is, in the thickness direction of the foil strip, preferably up to its total saturation. In the coiled condition of the foil, one side of the lateral area thus faces the other side of the lateral area. Starting at the center, this configuration creates, in a radial direction, a sequence of varying magnetic polarizations within the cross section of the magnet spiral. The effect of this series arrangement of the magnetic polarizations causes the creation of a particularly strong magnetic field in the vicinity of the magnet spiral.

Abstract: Magnet spirals for therapeutic application with minimum one foil strip made of a rubber-type flexible, preferably skin compatible, plastic which is coiled up along its lengthwise dimension in form of a spiral, whereby the foil strip is magnetically polarized in an axial direction relative to its larger lateral face (i.e. in its lengthwise direction). The larger lateral faces of the foil strip are magnetically polarized in an axial direction of the foil—that is, in the lengthwise direction of the foil strip, preferably up to its total saturation. In the coiled condition of the foil, one side of the larger lateral area thus faces the other large lateral area. Starting at the center this configuration creates in a radial direction a sequence of varying magnetic polarizations within the cross section of the magnet spiral. The effect of this series arrangement of the magnetic polarizations causes the creation of a particularly strong magnetic field in the vicinity of the magnet spiral.
