The QuadraBloc™ is a device made of four magnetic bodies, which alternate polarity on the face of the device.

QuadraBloc™ Magnetic Flux Generator

Technically, it is a quadrapolar, static, symmetric, alternating pole magnetic flux generator. The design creates very intense field gradients (strong magnetic fields), which are essential for the effectiveness of QuadraBloc™.

QuadraBloc™ was perfected in a university medical center. The mechanism has been proven to be in part related to stabilization, or repair of damaged cell membranes. The magnetic flux field stabilizes, or blocks sodium and calcium ion channels, as well as, stops cells from leaking fluid. This is important for stopping abnormal painful impulses. This has been demonstrated in studies in the laboratory, animals and humans. By blocking the generation and/or conduction of abnormal pain fiber impulses, through controlling these ion channels, QuadraBloc™ turns off the pain signal to the brain. When the pain signal is turned off, the pain goes away.

A 2x2 randomized double-blind cross-over study was done to assess the efficacy of the MagnaBloc™ in reducing low back and knee pain in 54 patients at two centers. The MagnaBloc™ is a magnetic treatment device which contains a quadripolar permanent magnet system. Pain was assessed using visual analog scale, ranging from zero (no pain) to 100 (maximal pain). Prior to any treatment the average pain rating was 52.9.
