Reaching beyond the surface in plasma treatments
conference contribution
posted on 2014-11-28, 13:45 authored by Alexander H. Shaw, Gilbert Shama, Felipe IzaFelipe IzaCold atmospheric pressure plasmas have been shown to possess bactericidal potential. Many
research groups are looking into developing biomedical applications for plasma; however
some big questions still remain. There are several main hurdles that need to be jumped before
plasma has a chance to break through into the medical treatments market, one of these is
penetration. Can plasma penetrate beyond the surface and reach cells beyond those on the
surface? Can we make plasma treatments to penetrate, for example, through skin?
