In order to attain simultaneous stimulation of many acupunctural points on skin, Yugoslav patent application P-1509/83 provides an interesting solution, whereby the side striped permanent magnets with alternating N, S configuration are being arranged in the form of flexible foil. Due to the shallow surface effect on acupunctural points, this construction is not applicable in producing magnetic fields with a deep penetration in human organism.

Inset in a form of magnetic strip with alternating segments of N, S magnetic configuration for obtaining anti-dolorous effects within body cavities is presented in patent YU 44523, approved by the Federal Intelectual Property Office of Yugoslavia. Since in this case effects of magnetic attraction forces cease in immediate vicinity of the inset as well, it is not applicable in producing deep influence in human organism.

In order to stimulate acupunctural points on skin and obtain anti-dolorous effects, micro-magnets of sufficiently small dimensions were produced to be adhered to skin by adhesive strip without diminishing working activities. Even though these micro-magnets can produce an adequate deep magnetic field, they are not capable of obtaining a simultaneous surface integral magnetic effect on skin and in its immediate vicinity.

In the Japanese patent application JP 03190153, over an adhesive strip is fixed an elastic layer into which thin cylindrical magnets unipolar oriented are built in. Thus better fixation of magnets is achieved and their constant mutual distance, i. e. adequate magnetic field in depth. Although simultaneous surface integral magnetic effect is not achieved, moderate effect in depth is realised more closely to skin than with single micromagnets fixed to skin.

In the international patent application PCT/ES90/00026 WO 91/01775 for application in therapeutical purposes set of differently shaped plates magnets is used. The surface of each single magnet is unipolar, the plates are narrow and magnetic effect on skin is released only underneath of them. As these magnets are put one next to the other with opposite polarisation, an effect in depth cannot be obtained, which is not the aim of the invention. Thus the only attained is in stips the surface magnetic stimulation of skin.

In the international patent application PCT/DE96/01395 WO 97/11749 surface elastic magnets with alternate polarisation is achieved. In its essence that is an elastic magnetic base of one polarisation into which is an elastic magnetic material of another polarisation inserted or fixed. Thereby the strengths of magnetic induction of the materials deployed are specifically different.

Depending on the therapeutical aims, inserted magnetic materials are made in the form of plates, strips, cylinders or their combinations, therewith the inserts may have different strength of induction. In that way the achieved is the surface magnetic stimulation of skin with controled and varied intensitv, but with no effect in depth.

In medicine, most frequently in ophthalmology, there is a wide utilisation of strong electromagnets with variable induction in instant extraction of ferrous objects from patient's eye. Since these electromagnets are connected to the power supply, they are neither suitable for work in the field conditions nor applicable in extraction of ferrous bodies from muscular mass, as they are tearing apart tissue on its way in the abrupt rectilinear extraction.

Foreign ferrous bodies implanted in patient's body in a forceful penetration are mostly removed in a surgical operation, which necessarily inclues damage of musculature parts, blood vessels etc. Apart from immediate perils to which patients are exposed, that requires a long post-operative convalescence and may cause reduction of working capability.

Sometimes, a foreign body is left in organs due to inability to perform the operation itself since the body is located at an inoperable spot, whereby an operation may directly imperil patient's health or life, or cause disability.

Even though it is indicative that permanent magnets attract ferrous matters in a thrombus resulted from disintegrated erythrocytes, i. e. from haemoglobin contained in them which attaches parts of thrombus on to the blood vessel walls, the magnets utilised so far were not applied neither in preventive nor in curative treatments of thrombosis due to their inadequate construction. Due to similar reasons, in spite of the observation that bone fractures will recover better and faster when exposed to the effect of a permanent magnetic field, this kind of procedure is not being applied at the out-patient level or simultaneously with the regular convalescence activities, with the exemption of specialised clinics.

Object of the invention is to construct unipolar, surface magnetised elastic magnetic strip that would adhere to patient's skin, providing both an integral surface magnetic field and a deep magnetic field within organism.

Also, object of the invention is to create by fitting of these strips diverse forms of permanent magnets, such as: arrowy or horseshoe-shaped magnetic trap, which would enable non-invasive extraction of ferrous bodies from human organism.

At the same time, it is meant to place these strips upon one another, in order to reinforce the deep magnetic field effect within organism.

Side lining of the strips would provide stimulation of larger surfaces by unipolar magnetic field.

Front lining of the strips would enable partial coverage of the certain parts of body, e. g. arms or legs, but also the other parts of body in order to affect ferrous matters within organism.

The object is to adhere these strips on skin of the persons who are suffering from varices or inclining to thrombosis in areas of thrombotic venous blood vessels, so to induce adhesion of thrombus parts as they contain ferrous matters from disintegrated erythrocytes onto the walls of blood vessel until they are rechanneled and resorbed.

This invention also aims to increase concentration and promote resorption of medicaments with ferromagnetic and paramagnetic properties in the desired tissues.

Adherence of these strips above bone fracture spots should enable a permanent exposure to magnetic field effect, that would add to a better and faster forming of callus, i. e. incorporation of calcium in the bones.

According to this invention, unipolar, surface magnetised elastic magnetic strip is innovative by the magnetised ferric nucleuses which are homogeneously arranged in elastic mass of the strip body with arrowy endings. These nucleuses are all holding the same axis direction towards surfaces, so that the upper surface is magnetised as the North magnetic pole and the lower surface as the South pole.

Therein, the length of body with endings exceeds the width,-which exceeds significantly the height.

Strip according to variant I is innovative in the strip body which has a form of thin parallelepiped.

Strip according to variant II is innovative in that it has the surface magnetised parallel palisade rails fastened on the upper and lower surfaces into elastic mass of the body. Therein, the upper surface is magnetised as the North pole and lower surface is magnetised as the South pole.

Strip according to variant IV is innovative in the many strip bodies being lined up sideways, one by the other, in order to produce a unipolar magnetic field of greater surface.

Strip according to variant V is innovative in the many strip bodies being lined up and facing each other frontally, in order to produce a unipolar magnetic field to encompass partially certain parts of body by greater length.

Strip according to variant VI is innovative in the many strips being lined up in oblique fashion, in order to produce magnetic trap and special, depth oriented magnetic fields in arrowy, horseshoe-shape and other forms.

According to this invention, application of magnetic strip for preventive and curative effects on varices is innovative in the bodies of magnetic strips being placed on the skin of lower extremities along the healthy section of vein and above vein deformations, parallel to the blood stream and closer to the heart and above them, transversal to the blood stream, body of magnetic strips. This is meant to reduce volume of blood in the stoppage section of deformation by the attraction of ferrous matters opposite to the gravitation force on the spot where possibility was assessed that vein can assume its normal function, thus reducing pressure on the walls of afflicted blood vessel, slowing down further progression of damage and preventing thrombosis.

According to this invention, application of unipolar, surface magnetised elastic magnetic strip for curative effect in thrombosis is innovative in the body of immobilisation magnetic strip, magnetic trap or a plate with the many magnetic strips being placed on the skin of lower extremities in the area of vein with located thrombus.

According to this invention, application of elastic magnetic strip for faster and more complete forming of callus in bone fractures is innovative in the body of strip being placed in a form of arch in the area of bone fracture in order to obtain magnetic field effect throughout 24 hours during the convalescence period.

According to this invention, application of strip for treatment of afflicted arterial blood vessels is innovative in the bodies of magnetic strips, being placed in the immediate vicinity and onto skin parallel to the blood stream of the afflicted narrowing arterial blood vessel where the blood stream path is reduced and narrowed. This results in vasodilatation of network of the surrounding arterial vessels, improvement of micro-circulation in the surrounding and functionally related area, since the blood stream is being assumed through widening and more developed collateral blood vessels.

According to this invention, application of strip in mechanic and functional damages of muscles, tendons and the adjacent innervation is innovative in the fact that the spot of damage of muscles with tendons and innervation is being encompassed and covered by the bodies of magnetic strips, which provide for vasodilatation, increased micro-circulation, i. e. spasmolitic, anti-dolorous and anti-edemous effect.

The procedure of application of magnetic strip for increased drug concentration with ferromagnetic or paramagnetic properties in order to increase the resorption by the respective tissue according to this invention is innovative in that the spot on skin above the tissue in question is encompassed and covered with magnetic strip bodies thereby producing magnetic field acting in depth, procuring increased delivery and concentration of medicaments with ferromagnetic or paramagnetic properties and their increased concentration and promoted resorption in the tissue desired within the area of increased magnetic field activity in depth.

According to this invention, application of unipolar, surface magnetised elastic magnetic strip for non-invasive extraction of ferrous foreign bodies from human organism is innovative in that it has the magnetic trap composed of the bodies of elastic magnetic strips oblique to each other which is being placed on human body below foreign ferrous body, with its endings directed upwards and towards foreign ferrous body. Therein, a micro-magnet for human usage is adhered to patient's skin sideways from the foreign body in order to enable initial side extraction of the foreign body from an inaccessible zone of human organism, to be removed once the side extraction is completed. The magnetic trap then gradually extracts foreign ferrous body downward by its force of attraction combined with gravitation force, in accordance with anatomic structures of muscles, muscular sheaths, nerves, blood vessels and bones, until it draws it into the zone accessible for a surgical intervention or to subcutaneous zone.

That provides for fixation of thrombus due to increased ferric presence in the thrombus 9, originating from disintegrated erythrocytes in the area of thrombosis and for its faster rechanelisation, i. e. resorption with concomitant improvement of micro-circulation in that area.

According to this invention, application of magnetic strip for preventive and curative effects on varices, as indicated in Figs 21 and 21 a is innovative in the bodies 1,1', 1", 1A, lA', lA"of magnetic strips placed on the skin of lower extremities 12 along the healthy section of vein 10 and above vein deformations 10a parallel to the blood stream and closer to the heart and above them, transversal to the blood stream, body 1,1 A of magnetic strips, in order to reduce volume of blood in the stoppage section of deformation 10a by the attraction of ferrous matters opposite to the gravitation force on the spot where possibility was assessed that vein 10 can assume its normal function. Then the pressure on the walls of afflicted blood vessel is reduced, slowing down further progression of damage and preventing thrombosis.

This also adds to a faster and more complete forming of callus in bone 13 fracture.

According to this invention, application of strip for treatment of afflicted arterial blood vessels, as indicated in Figs 23 and 23a is innovative in the bodies 1,1', 1", 1A, 1A', lA"of magnetic strips, being placed in the immediate vicinity and onto skin parallel to the blood stream of the afflicted narrowing arterial blood vessel 16 where the blood stream path is reduced and narrowed.-This results in vasodilatation of network of the surrounding arterial vessels, improvement of micro-circulation in the surrounding and functionally connected area, since the blood stream is being assumed through widening and more developed collateral blood vessels 17.

According to this invention, application of strip in mechanic and functional damages of muscles, tendons and the adjacent innervation, as indicated in Fig. 24 is innovative in the spot 14 of damage of muscles with tendons and innervation which is being encompassed and covered by the bodies 1,1', 1", 1A, lA', lA"of magnetic strips.

The procedure of application of magnetic strip for increased concentration of medicaments with ferro magnetic or para magnetic properties, in order to enable promoted resorption in the tissue desired, according to this invention is innovative in that it has on skin above the desired tissue encompassed and covered with bodies 1,1', 1", 1A, lA', 1A"of magnetic strips, whereupon directed magnetic filed in depth is achieved providing for increased delivery and concentration of medicaments with ferro magnetic and para magnetic properties and their increased concentration and promoted resorption in desired tissue, within the area of increased magnetic filed in depth.

According to this invention, application of unipolar, surface magnetised elastic magnetic strip for non-invasive extraction of ferrous foreign bodies from human organism, as indicated in Fig. 25, is innovative in that it has magnetic trap 8 composed of the bodies 1,1', 1", 1"'of elastic magnetic strips oblique to each other and placed on human body 11 below foreign ferrous body 7, with its endings directed upwards and towards foreign ferrous body 7. Therein, a micro- magnet 6 for human usage is adhered to patient's skin sideways from the foreign body 7 in order to enable initial side extraction of the foreign body 7 from an inaccessible zone of human organism, to be removed once the side extraction is completed. Then the magnetic trap 8 gradually evacuates by its force of attraction combined with gravitation force the foreign ferrous body 7 downward, in accordance with anatomic structures of muscles, muscular sheaths, nerves, blood vessels and bones, until it draws it into the zone accessible for a surgical intervention or to subcutaneous zone.

Advantages of unipolar, surface magnetised elastic magnetic strip for directed, deep magnetic field effect influence on ferrous matters in human organism and application are the following: -Elastic magnetic strips are of small dimensions, easily portable and very simply applicable to the skin.

-Depending on method of combining magnetic strips, it is possible to produce in organism a reinforced magnetic field, magnetic field of a greater surface or specific forms of magnetic fields with special purposes.

-Elastic magnetic strips and their application do not require a special source of power supply, that enable their application outside the hospitals and out-patient's clinics.

-When adhered to human body, elastic magnetic strips enable normal flow of patient's regular activities.

-Strips are also applicable in the field conditions, at out-patient and in-patient levels.

-In persons suffering from thrombosis, adhesion of the strips to skin in the area of thrombus yields curative effects, since disintegrated erythrocytes or parts of thrombus are sticking to the blood vessels walls to be rechannelised and resorbed in the course of time.

-Strips adhered to skin in the area of fractures enable a faster and more complete forming of callus in bone fractures.

-Strips placed over the skin above the desired tissue provide for faster and better resorption of medicaments with ferromagnetic or paramagnetic properties.

-With a trap composed of magnetic strips and its application it is possible to extricate a foreign ferrous body from a non-operative zones of organism into a zone more accessible for surgical intervention, or to a subcutaneous zone.

-Anti-dolorous, spasmolitic and vasodilatative effects are achieved by stimulating acupunctural points with magnetic strips.

-By this procedure, extraction of a foreign ferrous body is gradual, in accordance with anatomic structures of muscles, muscular sheaths, nerves, blood vessels and bones, which prevents destruction of these structures.

-When applied closely, or before the wound inflicted by penetration of ferrous body into organism is healed, trap and its application make the ferrous body leave the organism out along the same path of its penetration.

-By fitting the strips, trap is being placed to the skin quickly and easily.

Therefore, it is possible to adhere it below the spot of injury immediately in the conditions where apart from first aid any serious medical intervention is unavailable, i. e. hunting, war operations, work in the industry of ferrous production and similar, in order to extract the foreign ferrous body continuously until surgical intervention.

-Procedure of fastening the elastic magnetic strips in the described manner is considerably faster than application of a needed number of individual micro- magnets.

-Due to the lesser surface pressure, strips are more suitable for application to the sensitive parts of body than punctual pressure of micro-magnets.

-In patients tested with this procedure after the operation, wounds are healing faster and the convalescence period is made shorter.

-Elastic magnetic strips and their application do not imperil patient's life and health.

-Elastic magnetic strips as applied to vein deformations slow down further damage progression and prevent thrombosis.

-Application of the strips in thrombosis enables thrombus fixation and its faster rechannelisation, i. e. resorption.

-In afflicted arterial blood vessels magnetic strips instigate vasodilatation and improvement of the blood circulation through expanded and developed collateral blood vessels.

-Elastic magnetic strips as applied to mechanic and functional damages of muscles, tendons and adjacent innervation provide for vasodilatation, increased micro-circulation, spasmolitic, anti-dolorous and anti-oedematous effects.

According to this invention unipolar, surface magnetised elastic magnetic strip for directed, deep magnetic field effect influence on ferrous matters in human organism may be with body 1 with arrowy endings 2, (Fig. 1) or with body 1A with a shape of thin parallelepiped (Fig. 8). In elastic strip 3 ferrous nucleuses 4 are homogeneously arranged, being magnetised and evenly aimed with their axis toward surfaces, so that the upper surface GP effects as pole N and the lower surface DP as pole S (Fig. 2).

Instead of ferrous nucleuses, it is possible to fasten palisade rails 5 onto elastic mass 3 on one surface GP or both surfaces GP, DP so that they are acting again as the North pole N, or the South magnetic pole S (Figs 3,4,9,10).

In order to obtain a reinforced directed deep magnetic field, elastic magnetic strips are being lined up on the top of each other, so that the body 1,1A of the first strip leans with its S magnetised lower surface DP onto the upper surface GP of the body 1', 1 A', with the opposite N magnetised next strip, which is repeating (Figs 11,12,13,14).

Magnetic traps of arrowy, horseshoe or other forms are created by placing and adhering the bodies 1,1', 1", 1"'on the skin in oblique fashion (Figs 5 and 6).

In case of a need to encompass a larger surface of skin by the effect of unipolar oriented magnetic field, the bodies 1,1', 1", 1"', 1 A, 1 A', 1 A", 1 A"'of elastic strips are being fitted sideways, one by the other (Figs 16,17,18).

If there is a need to encompass partially certain organ or extremity by the strips, bodies 1,1', 1", 1"', 1A, 1A', 1A", 1A"' arc fitted facing each other (Figs 7,19).

By adhesion of elastic magnetic strips on the skin of legs in the area of thrombosis, fixation of thrombus 9 and its faster rechannelisation, i. e. resorption are enabled. This is achieved by application of immobilisation magnetic strip, trap 8, (Fig. 20) or plate made of many strips 1,1', l", lA, lA', lA" (Fig. 20a).

Then, due to increased ferric presence in thrombus 9, originating from disintegrated erythrocytes, thrombus 9 is being attracted by the magnetic field and kept up in vein 10 on the desired place for the period of time needed to get rechannelised, i. e. resorbed. This coincides with improved micro-circulation of the treated area.

Elastic magnetic stripes are also applicable in cases of varices. In such cases, they are fitted onto the preserved and healthy section of vein 10 above deformation 10a and closer to the heart, simultaneously and parallel to the blood stream and alternatively to the left and to the right. A spot at vein assessed of being capable to assume normal function is selected for the stripe application.

Magnetic stripes 1,1', 1", 1 A, lA', lA"from the afflicted part of 10a vein with existing functional stoppage decrease blood volume in the area of stoppage by attracting ferrous matters, contrary to the gravitation force. Thus pressure on the afflicted blood vessel walls is reduced, further damage progression is slowed down and thrombosis is prevented (Figs 21 and 21 a).

Elastic magnetic stripes enable continuous effect of magnetic field throughout 24 hours on the bone fractures, which are as it is widely known recovered faster when exposed to the influence of magnetic field. In fractures of extremities 12, i. e. arms and legs, the bone fracture 13 is being encompassed by the magnetic strip in a semi-arch (Fig. 22) and at the fractures in other areas magnetic strip is fitted so to include the fracture into the zone of its influence.

Under the influence of magnetic field, inflow and incorporation of calcium with paramagnetic properties to the place of fracture are more easily, which results in a faster and more complete forming of callus in bone fractures.

In afflicted arterial blood vessels 15, where the blood stream path is reduced and narrowed, magnetic strips 1,1', 1", 1 A, 1 A', 1 A"are being used parallel to the stream in the immediate vicinity of the narrowing blood vessel 16. This provides for vasodilatation of the network of surrounding arterial blood vessels and improvement of micro-circulation in surrounding and functionally related area, since the blood stream is assumed through expanded and developed collateral blood vessels 17 (Figs 23 and 23a).

In case of mechanical and functional damages in muscles, tendons and adjacent innervation, the damaged spot 14 is encompassed or covered by the magnetic strips 1,1', 1", 1A, 1A', 1A". This provides for vasodilatation, increased micro-circulation, spasmolitic, anti-dolorous and anti-oedematous effects (Fig. 24).

In the event that it is desired to deliver some medicine of ferromagnetic or paramagnetic properties in increased concentration to a desired area and thus saved and protected other parts of the body and organs from unnecessary effects on them, magnetic strips 1,1', 1", 1A, 1A', 1A" are fixed on skin above the desired area. Thus magnetic field oriented to depth is attained, providing for increased delivery and concentrations of medicaments with feromagnetic or paramagnetic properties and their elevated concentration and increased resorption in the tissue desired, within the area of magnetic field strengthened in depth.

Elastic magnetic strips are particularly suitable for non-invasive extraction of foreign ferrous bodies from human organism. Magnetic trap 8 consisting of mutually oblique elastic stripes 1, 1', 1", 1" is to be adhered on human body 11 below foreign ferrous body 7. Its endings are aiming upwards, in the direction of the foreign ferrous body 7.

Thereby, micro-magnet 6 for human usage is adhered sideways to the foreign body and onto the patient's skin, in order to produce initial extraction of the foreign body 7 from an inaccessible zone in human organism, to be removed after the side extraction is completed. Then magnetic trap 8 gradually extracts the foreign ferrous body 7 by the force of its magnetic attraction combined with gravitation force, downward in accordance with anatomic structures of muscles, muscular sheaths, nerves, blood vessels and bones, until it is drawn into the zone accessible for surgical intervention (Fig. 25).
