Opening of the article
The wound healing properties of Pulsating Magnetic Field (PMF) therapy are well known. The normal healing process manifests in four stages: 1) Debridement. 2) Contraction, 3) Epithelialisation and 4) Remodeling. By exposing the wound to PMF of very low frequency and intensity it was found that the healing process could be accelerated. At our centre a four coil assembly has been fabricated with a function generator which supplied a pulsating electric current of sine wave mode to the coil to treat small animals.
