Our Cold Plasma Medical Device leads the way
Bacteria protected within biofilm are up to 1000x more resistant to antibiotics. This can complicate treatment options for wounds and surgical site infections but as it is an international form of therapy, it remains used throughout patient treatments despite it offering little to no help in healing problematic/stalled wounds and infections.
The cost burden associated to ongoing antibiotic therapy is significant as is the antimicrobial resistance rates that are ever growing. The World Health Organisation recognizes this and more hospitals are reaching out to alternative therapies to help curb the spending costs and antimicrobial resistance rates.
As the Adtec SteriPlas cold plasma has been shown to kill all forms of bacteria, regardless of their resistance profile or if they are Gram -ve or +ve or even if they are protected within biofilm, it has become widely adopted as an alternative to antibiotic therapy specifically in cases where patients are at a severe stage of infection such as those associated to diabetic foot ulcers and left ventricular assist device infections.
It has been praised as a life-saving medical device helping to heal infections that have been stalled for a very long time where conventional therapies have failed to act, reduce amputation and mortality rates.
This year we look forward to releasing a series of Health Economic publications documenting the cost effectiveness of our medical device against the use conventional therapies. We look forward to releasing this information to you in due time.
Until then, please reach out to us to learn more about why the interest in our medical device is growing daily. The data collection of our safety and efficacy shows why using an Adtec SteriPlas could completely change the way you treat patients.
The Safety and Reliability of our Cold Plasma
Is our cold plasma safe?
Yes!
As you can see from the photo, our Adtec technician demonstrates touching the cold plasma jet.
An extensive list of practical tests and experiments were conducted during our first stage, pre clinical studies and ongoing post-market studies. This allowed us to carefully develop a cold plasma medical device that could bring all the antibacterial benefits but at the same time remain painless and contact-free so that it could be well tolerated in patient treatments. We were after all the first company worldwide to introduce cold plasma treatment on wounds demonstrated in our clinical trials.
As cold plasma can be generated through a variety of ways, they are also dependent on the plasma source design and surrounding environment. The components of plasma include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and UV that need to be controlled to ensure they are within safe levels for medical use. Some plasma devices may also deliver fluctuating inconsistent cold plasma output as they are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature in the treatment room. This may often result in undesirable side effects.
Because the Adtec SteriPlas is a low energy, microwave-powered, cold atmospheric argon plasma medical device this means its safety remains the main priority in line with delivering repeatable and successful results. It is also the reason why we are proud to state our medical device has NO side effects associated to it.
Our patented 6 electrode Cold Plasma Torch
The Adtec SteriPlas features a patented 6 electrode cold plasma torch. It’s proven efficacy for the destruction of all forms of bacteria including multi-resistant bugs makes it an alternative to antibiotic therapy for the treatment of wounds, surgical site infections and medical dermatology skin conditions. This is due to the unique physical mode of action delivered with our cold plasma as opposed to the chemical mode of action demonstrated with antibiotics. Broader studies have shown that antimicrobial resistance is unlikely to be generated with cold plasma treatment because of this.
A huge collection of our peer reviewed publications documents the clinical efficacy and safety of our medical device across a broad range of conditions including diabetic foot ulcers, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) infections, deep sternal wound infections, actinic keratoses and acne.
