That is correct. Only one magnet on the left hand and none on the right.
This shows the effect and power of the magnetic field and how far away from
the magnet, this benefit actually reaches. The test subject was an adult so
you can see that the effect is reaching out well over a foot away. That's
what we call real distance/depth of penetration.
I should point out that the tests were conducted with our MF2 style Neodymium
magnet and we only use the highest rated Neo material made. Non-Neodymium
magnets, which therefore have much lower field strength ratings, provide the
same effect on blood supply when applied, but over a proportionally smaller
area and distance.
We do use large numbers of these other types of High Energy and Xtra High
Energy ceramic magnets in our "Pad" products like seat, pillow, chair and
mattress pads including pet sleeping pads. The intent of these products is
to provide a relatively uniform magnetic field over a very large area where
the total depth of penetration does not need to be as great to accomplish the
desired relief.
Our tests of refrigerator type and other multi-pole magnet designs, currently
being marketed, show that the magnetic field is concentrated along the
surface of the device. Therefore, by its inherent design, the field is
unable to extend out to any great extent so it can provide a beneficial depth
of penetration to reach deep seated pain several inches below the skin.
These devices are probably OK for rashes and surface abrasions, etc.
