Abstract
A flexible magnetic pad for therapeutic use having single pole magnetic surfaces includes a mixture of a flexible synthetic material and magnetic particles having a high magnetic retentivity with a residual induction of at least 0.8 Tesla. Preferably, the synthetic material is silicone rubber and the magnetic particles are Neodymium-Iron-Boron. Sealing layers of flexible synthetic material surround the mixture to prevent disengagement of the particles. The pad is form-fitting to the contours of the body and has an elasticity enabling 200% elongation.
