Abstract
A medical treatment device is disclosed which includes a medical treatment member and resilient securing members which adjust to conform to the particular dimensions of the portion of the patient's anatomy which is to be treated. The resilient securing members move outwardly away from the patient to conform to the size of the patient and ensure that the patient is centered within the treatment device. The medical treatment members are thus accurately positioned with respect to the patient. This is particularly important in treatments involving the application of magnetic fields to the patient. In addition, the disclosed medical device is relatively comfortable and can be worn by a patient for a relatively long period of time.
