An improved portable battery powered therapy applicator which applies a high frequency electromagnetic field to a living tissue for promoting hematogenous effects. The applicator is in use to be attached to the skin of a patient and has a casing encapsulating therein, in addition to the battery, an antenna for directing the high electromagnetic field and electronic components forming an oscillator which energizes the antenna. These parts are mounted on a substrate which is made of a rigid material sufficient to resist deflection or deformation in order to protect the antenna on the substrate from deforming or receiving considerable stress at the time of detaching the applicator from the skin. Thus, the antenna can be kept free from breaking even through repeated operations of detaching the applicator, greatly enhancing reliability and prolong an operation life of the applicator.

An apparatus for applying magnetic therapy to a horse's foot. A bottom panel is shaped consistent with the shape of an equine foot. A side wall is coupled along one edge to the bottom panel. A heel flap extends from the bottom panel and may rotate relative thereto such that the heel flap covers the heels of the foot when worn. At least one of, and preferably all of, the heel flap, the bottom panel, and the side wall contain magnetic material, which creates a magnetic field that acts on the foot when the apparatus is worn.

A medical treatment device is disclosed which includes a medical treatment member and resilient securing members which adjust to conform to the particular dimensions of the portion of the patient's anatomy which is to be treated. The resilient securing members move outwardly away from the patient to conform to the size of the patient and ensure that the patient is centered within the treatment device. The medical treatment members are thus accurately positioned with respect to the patient. This is particularly important in treatments involving the application of magnetic fields to the patient. In addition, the disclosed medical device is relatively comfortable and can be worn by a patient for a relatively long period of time.

The invention contemplates a cast-embedable coil structure which includes a single connector fitting, designed for exposure externally of a completed cast and for removable mounting and electrical connection to a self-contained light-weight rechargeable portable signal-generator unit. The signal-generator unit is mounted to the cast only for periods of therapeutic treatment, and it is removably mounted to a less-portable charging unit in intervals between periods of therapeutic treatment. The same connector fitting on the generator unit (a) establishes all necessary electrical connections for therapy when mounted to the cast fitting and (b) establishes all necessary electrical connections for recharging when mounted to the charging unit. Various automatic and display functions are provided in the signal-generator unit and in the charging unit.
