Bacterial inactivation/sterilization by argon plasma treatment on contaminated titanium implant surfaces: In vitro study.
BACKGROUND Surface treatment by argon plasma is widely used as the last step of the manufacturing process of titanium implant fixtures before their sterilization by gamma rays. The possibility of using such a technology in the daily clinical practice is particularly fascinating. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of the argon plasma treatment on different titanium implant su...
متن کاملCold plasma for bacterial inactivation
Non thermal plasmas had been used for many years for different applications. Plasma is a cocktail of reactive oxygen species, negative species, radicals etc. This mixture has a positive effect also in killing bacteria. This fact is highly important in applications like disinfection of burned wounds where large skin areas need to be cleaned before the treatment. In this work we studied in vitro ...
متن کاملCold Plasma Sterilization of Open Wounds: Live Rat Model
Atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium (cold) plasmas are already known to be effective sterilization agents. This work further confirms the ability of cold plasma to inactivate pathogenic organisms in a live animal model. The rat wound model used here represents a surgical treatment situation whereby the wound is open and the bleeding is controlled. High concentration of Staphylococcus aureus is...
متن کاملCold Plasma Inactivation of Bacterial Biofilms and Reduction of Quorum Sensing Regulated Virulence Factors
The main objectives of this work were to investigate the effect of atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) against a range of microbial biofilms commonly implicated in foodborne and healthcare associated human infections and against P. aeruginosa quorum sensing (QS)-regulated virulence factors, such as pyocyanin, elastase (Las B) and biofilm formation capacity post-ACP treatment. The effect of processing...
متن کاملPlasma technology for sterilization of food packaging material
An efficient inactivation of surface contaminants like micro organisms or toxins is a requirement for the manufacturing of safe and high-quality products in food industry. In a research project funded by the BMBF (FKZ 13N7609) the so called cascaded dielectric barrier discharge was developed (CDBD). This patented system is a further development of a dielectric barrier discharge which combines g...
