ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and technique is disclosed for promoting or altering the growth, repair or regenerative process of living tissues and cells with an induced magnetic field. The apparatus includes at least one coil of a specific structural arrangement coupled to a current generator for producing a magnetic field and mounted on a flexible contour-conforming composition for application to living tissue. The generator provides current to the coil to produce a continuous or pulsating magnetic field within the region to be treated. A "polaroid" filter formed also of a flexible contour is disposed between the coil and the region to be treated to control flux density. Additional filter(s) can be placed adjacent each other to further control the orientation and density of the flux impinging upon the area to be treated. The number of filters and their arrangement are selected to provide beneficial effects in the area of the tissue to be treated.
