Cold Plasma Speeds Up Wound Healing
http://cdn.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/plasmaderm.pngAn interdisciplinary team of German researchers is using cold plasma to speed up the healing of external wounds. The technique relies on creating a high voltage drop between a special device, called the PlasmaDerm, and the skin. The air within this region turns into a cool*ionized gas, k**wn as cold plasma. The researchers conducted a review to assess the potential dangers of cold plasma on humans, since it’s never been used for clinical purposes. Their conclusion was that there’s **thing to be concerned about and they moved to test the tech**logy on real patients.
What they found was that the bacterial count within the wounds treated with cold plasma went down, while the electric field applied by the hand-held plasma device promoted blood circulation and oxygenation of the wound tissue. The result is faster healing with little discomfort.
The researchers behind the project are hoping that this tech**logy may find its way into the hands of consumers for treating everyday injuries such as bruises, while for clinicians a modified form of the tech**logy may be used to assess wounds in a new manner.
Here’s a video about the PlasmaDerm and how it works:
