Safety and efficiency evaluation of an innovative plasma jet array in argon by gas switching technology

Wound healing is an important and still challenging task in modern medicine. In particular, the therapeutic options of treating chronic wounds linked to diseases like diabetes are limited. One promising approach is the application of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) via medical plasma jets or dielectric barrier discharges to specifically stimulate the healing process of non-healing wounds. However, limitations occur regarding the treatment area in case of plasma jets.
