Size Does Matter!
Size does matter!
Yes, we do manufacture smaller handheld Cold Plasma devices that have antibacterial efficacy but we do not sell these in the medical field. A quick 2 minute treatment time is respective of being focused on the size of the plasma area created. Small and handheld plasma jet devices feature a 1mm2 treatment area which means antibacterial efficacy is achieved in a very small area for every 2 minutes applied. If the wound is 10cm2, we will leave you to do the maths on how long it will take to treat! This is why we do not sell handheld plasma jet pens as medical devices as they are limited to small and superficial wounds.
The SteriPlas creates a gigantic 12cm2 treatment area which is only possible through the size of the medical device which incorporates a series of crucial components such as the generator and control unit. This means the SteriPlas can cover large wounds and finish treatment in as quick as a single two minute session. Whilst the SteriPlas can treat acute and superficial wounds, it is designed to target deep and complicated wounds with #biofilm.
Deep sternal wounds is a classic example as documented in our clinical evidence.
