An experimental study of the influence of magnetic fields on soft-tissue wound healing. 1985

D J Leaper, and M E Foster, and S S Brennan, and P W Davies

The influence of magnetized foil strips (Energy-Pak Ltd., Wolfhalden, Switzerland) on soft-tissue healing in the skin of laboratory rats was studied. Linear sutured wounds healing by primary intention have been assessed for tensile strength using Instron tensiometry, and open full-thickness defects healing by secondary intention have been analyzed for collagen content, histologic appearance, and rate of healing. Wounds were covered by the alternate magnetic Energy-Pak foil or by a dummy control. No differences in tensile strength, collagen content, histologic studies, or rate of healing were seen between the treated and control groups.
