<p>A device for inducing local anaesthesia in a patient by inhibiting the passage of a nerve impulse through a nerve containing portion of the patient, said device comprising a magnetic field generating means for producing a moving magnetic field which is rotatable about an axis; and, a support means arranged to support said nerve containing portion of the patient in such relationship to said axis of rotation so as to co-operate with said magnetic field generating means such that rotation of the magnetic field is able to induce a flow of negatively charged particles within the nerve containing portion towards the axis of rotation of the rotating magnetic field.</p> |
