Cold atmospheric pressure air plasma jet for medical applications

Atmospheric Pressure Single Electrode Argon Plasma Jet for Biomedical Applications

Atmospheric pressure single electrode argon /oxygen plasma jet has been generated between a high-voltage electrode and the surrounding room air for treating thermally sensitive materials is reported. The discharge has been characterized by electrical and optical emission spectroscopic technique. The microplasma jet device operated by an electrical power less than 10 W exhibited a long plasma je...

In vitro Assessment of Antiviral Activity of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

Introduction: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a threat to global health and the need for finding new methods of antivirus research, in particular against HIV has increased in recent years. In this study, we investigated the ability of the cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet (CAPPJ) using helium to inhibit the replication of HIV virions. Methods: Single cycle replicable HIV (SCR-HIV) ...

Medical applications of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma

An innovative approach for producing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species is the use of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma. The technique has been applied in a wide variety of fields ranging from the micro-fabrication of electric devices to the treatment of disease. Although non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas have been shown to be clinically beneficial for wound healing, blood coagul...

Molecular Effects of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet on the Double-Stranded DNA

Introduction The aim of this study was toinvestigate the sterilization potential of atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) and interactions of this technology with double-stranded DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) techniques. Materials and Methods The plasma jet was produced through a high voltage sinusoidal power supplyusing a mixt...
