Prosthetic Limb Cover Design with Farabloc
After using Farabloc successfully in the "traditional" fashion for many years, some amputees were asking if the cloth could be worn inside the prosthesis during the day... read complete article here

Farabloc Provides Protection
T
he human nervous system is similar to a complex set of electrical receptors and conductors, with the brain acting as a central receiving station. Farabloc limb covers, socks, or mittens provide protection from external electrical and magnetic waves which may irritate nerve ends and cause phantom pain and other forms of physical discomfort.  Studies have demonstrated this pain link!! (Phantom limb pain induced in amputee by strong magnetic fields).

And since Farabloc blocks these magnetic and electromagnetic fields, it blocks the pain!!

This graph illustrates how Farabloc shields out the higher frequency electromagnetic radiation and thus prevents the pain suffered by amputees as shown in the scientific study on inducing pain in amputees using strong magnetic fields.

Farabloc provides warmth & comfort when you're in pain.
Farabloc looks and feels like linen, is washable and may be used repeatedly without losing its unique anti-inflammatory effect according to a controlled study conducted by the University of British Columbia School of Rehabilitation Medicine. Another important finding in recent research was the significant reduction in the level of enzymes creatine phosphokinase (CPK) known to produce pain and cramping in muscles.

Helps alleviate phantom pain
Designed in Germany to alleviate phantom pain resulting from amputation, Farabloc is now widely used for many other forms of pain relief. Farabloc can be tailored to any size. The Farabloc LC Limb Cover is also available as a built-in prosthetic component.

Aids muscle relaxation
Farabloc contains extremely thin steel fibres. Through its shielding effect Farabloc calms damaged nerve ends. It also stimulates blood circulation and may produce a pleasant feeling of warmth and relaxation. Farabloc also aids muscle relaxation and can be used to ease muscle strain. This product is drug-free and has no undesirable side effects. It contains no magnets or copper and is re-usable.

How to use Farabloc
Cover or wrap the painful area with a single or double layer of the Farabloc fabric. For the greatest pain relief, a double layer is recommended. A thin layer of cotton or linen fabric between your skin and Farabloc may increase your comfort without affecting the efficacy of Farabloc. Satisfied users find that Farabloc creates a warming effect. To sustain pain relief, it is important that you keep Farabloc on for some time. For amputees, it is necessary to cover the scar area with Farabloc when the pain first begins.

Flexible, fast acting and reusable
Whether you require a jacket, a sock, a sleeve, or a simple wrap to cover a limb, Farabloc's anti-inflammatory properties provide a natural and effective answer to pain and discomfort according to European and Canadian clinical trials and reports from independent health organizations.

Care of your Farabloc product
Farabloc can be machine washed. We recommend air drying at approximately 30°C (90° F). Don't wring out the wet material, the fibre connections can be easily damaged.

Patented Design

Extremely fine stainless steel fibres embedded in nylon shield the body from high frequency electro-magnetic fields which cause an increase in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) enzymes, known to produce pain and cramping in muscles.
