Cold Plasma Treatment Devices and Associated Methods

摘要

A cold plasma treatment device for delivery of a cold plasma to patient treatment area. Gas is fed to a gas compartment where it is energized by an electrode coupled to a pulse source to thereby generate a cold plasma. A dielectric barrier is sandwiched between the gas compartment and the electrode to form a dielectric barrier discharge device. The cold plasma exits the gas compartment via a bottom member having a plurality of holes. Gases that can be used include noble gases such as helium or combinations of noble gases.

主权项

1. A cold plasma treatment device comprising:
a body having a gas compartment therein, the gas compartment communicatively coupled to a gas inlet port; a non-conductive bottom member having a plurality of openings, wherein the plurality of openings is communicatively coupled to the gas compartment, and wherein a first surface of the non-conductive bottom member is aligned to a shape of a treatment area; and a dielectric barrier discharge device formed by an electrode disposed adjacent to an insulating barrier, the insulating barrier in turn disposed adjacent to the gas compartment and the electrode coupled to a high voltage electrical input port.
