Cold Atmospheric Plasma Jet Treatment: Application of Colf Atmospheric Plasma Jet on the wound
Alginate Patch: Application of Alginate Patches on the wound
Study summary
In this medical trial, a novel prototype of a medical device based on a Cold Atmospheric Air Plasma Jet for the treatment is clinically tested on patients with venous leg ulcers. The device is characterized by producing the first cold air plasma jet compatible with living tissues at a low heat transfer rate with a temperature on the skin surface lower than 40 ºC. It has a practical design to be used by physicians during daily practice with a special focus on unhealed ulcers.
