Plasma therapy is an innovative, painless, and conservative method of wound treatment and management using cold plasma applied with a PlasVet device. It is classified as a physical therapy modality.
Plasma, the so-called fourth state of matter, possesses high energy and is generated by applying the device directly to the skin, where it reacts with the surrounding ambient air. Therefore, no additional gas supply is required.
During plasma generation, activated gaseous species such as ozone and oxygen are produced, as well as UV-A and UV-B radiation and stimulating high-frequency electrical fields.
These physical effects exert antimicrobial activity by inactivating and eliminating microorganisms and, at the same time, significantly increase microcirculation within the tissue. This results in improved tissue oxygenation and a rapid reduction of the microbial load within only a few seconds, as demonstrated in numerous application studies. Consequently, wound healing is accelerated in a completely painless manner.
Due to this mechanism of action, cold plasma therapy is suitable for a wide range of wound treatments, including open and inflamed wounds and injuries, impaired wound healing, fungal infections, summer eczema, pastern dermatitis (mud fever), as well as inflammatory dental diseases such as EOTRH.
To achieve optimal results, daily application is recommended.
