Unipolar magnets, I have learned, is a term for the placment of the magnet
in such a fashion that the ploes of the magnet are perpendiculiar to the
patient, in which case, unipolar as a placment term may be valid, but the
term 'unipolar magnet' is misleading. I did not find this info at a
promotional website, however.
