A novel atmospheric-pressure air plasma jet for wound healing.

ABSTRACT: Current low-temperature plasma (LTP) devices essentially use a rare gas source with a short working distance (8 to 20 mm), low gas flow rate (0.12 to 0.3 m³ /h), and small effective treatment area (1-5 cm² ), limiting the applications for which LTP can be utilised in clinical therapy. In the present study, a novel type of LTP equipment was developed, having the advantages of a free gas source (surrounding air), long working distance (8 cm), high gas flow rate (10 m³ /h), large effective treatment area (20 cm² ), and producing an abundance of active substances (NOγ, OH, N₂ , and O), effectively addressing the shortcomings of current LTP devices. Furthermore, it has been verified that the novel LTP device displays therapeutic efficacy in
