Wound healing and antisepsis

Medical applications of cold atmospheric pressure plasma sources include the disinfection of body surfaces and living tissue as well as the influence on wound healing. In the meantime, clinical studies have also shown that cold atmospheric pressure plasma, in addition to its antiseptic effect, directly stimulates the regeneration of injured tissue and can thus support the healing process of chronic wounds that do not heal well. The areas of application for such plasma devices are particularly in dermatology, plastic and aesthetic surgery as well as general and trauma surgery.

Since February 2022, the "curative treatment of chronic and infected wounds by application of physical cold plasma" is recommended in a guideline of the AWMF - Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften e.V..
