Gas plasmas, created in atmospheric pressure conditions, both thermal (hot) and non-thermal (cold) are emerging as useful tools in medicine. During surgery, hot gas plasmas are useful to reduce thermal damage and seal blood vessels. Gas plasma pens use cold gas plasma to produce reactive chemical species with selective action against cancers, which can be readily exposed in surgery or treated from outside of the body. Solutions activated by cold gas plasma have potential as a novel treatment mod ...[more]
