Results for tag: "Cold Plasma In Healthcare"

In the field of advanced materials, cold plasma technology emerged as an innovative approach in various healthcare applications, exploiting its unique ability to sterilize equipment, disinfect wounds, and promote healing without compromising material integrity or patient safety. Cold plasma, also known as non-thermal plasma, operates at or near room temperature, making it suitable for delicate medical procedures and materials sensitive to heat. Its reactive species, including ions, electrons, and neutral atoms, effectively inactivate a wide range of pathogens, leading to enhanced antiseptic processes in hospitals and clinics. The versatility of cold plasma technology has led to its integration into coatings for medical devices, treatments for chronic and acute wounds, dental care, and even oncological therapies, where it could potentially target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Its integration into the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has also been researched, considering its potential to modify the surface properties of biomaterials to improve cell attachment and proliferation. Some companies operating in the cold plasma in healthcare market are Terra Plasma, Plasmatreat, Neoplas tools GmbH, and Coldplasmatech. Each company offers different cold plasma-based solutions catering to specific healthcare needs, from sterilization systems to devices designed for wound treatment and surgical applications.
