Why Size Matters
Why Size Matters in Cold Plasma Therapy: How SteriPlas Redefines Safety and Efficacy in Wound Treatment
In the fast-evolving world of medical technology, size often seems to shrink in tandem with innovation. Smaller, more portable devices flood the market, promising convenience and versatility, but sometimes critical aspects of functionality can be compromised. Adtec Healthcare’s SteriPlas, a groundbreaking microwave cold plasma device for wound treatment, boldly defies this trend, emphasizing that when it comes to effective and safe medical treatment, bigger truly is better.
SteriPlas: Leading with Power, Safety, and Precision
At a time when competitors are striving for compactness, the SteriPlas stands out with its larger design, which is purposefully engineered to deliver an unmatched level of therapeutic cold plasma. Unlike smaller Cold Plasma devices, the SteriPlas was built to prioritize treatment potency and safety without compromising on effectiveness. But why exactly does size matter for the SteriPlas? The answer lies in its ability to generate a rich, dense cold microwave plasma field that smaller devices simply can’t match.
Delivering Dense Cold Plasma for Optimal Therapeutic Effect
Cold plasma, a unique, non-thermal form of energized gas, has become a significant breakthrough in wound care due to its ability to kill bacteria. However, the efficacy of cold plasma therapy hinges on both the density and consistency of the plasma field, which is directly impacted by the device’s design.
The SteriPlas, with its larger structure, is engineered to generate and sustain a denser, richer microwave argon plasma field. This dense field ensures that cold plasma thoroughly reaches the treatment area, making it more effective at eradicating harmful pathogens and promoting healing. Where smaller devices might struggle to deliver a consistent plasma , the SteriPlas provides a comprehensive, evenly distributed cold plasma field, amplifying its therapeutic benefits.
Prioritizing Safety with No Side Effects
The SteriPlas was also designed with patient safety as a top priority. Despite its larger size and higher plasma density, it remains exceptionally safe for patients, no reported side effects—a critical advantage in any therapeutic device. Smaller devices may sometimes trade off treatment efficacy to meet compact design requirements, but the SteriPlas’s size is integral to its uncompromising safety standards.
Cold plasma therapy’s expanding use in wound treatment has led to a surge in demand for devices that are not only effective but also safe for prolonged and repeated use. SteriPlas’s larger design enables it to incorporate advanced safety protocols that allow it to maintain a rich microwave plasma field without risking tissue damage or other side effects. This design ensures that the SteriPlas can safely treat sensitive areas and deliver results consistently over time.
Setting a New Standard in Cold Plasma Therapy
The SteriPlas represents a thoughtful balance of innovation, efficacy, and patient-centered design, challenging the notion that smaller is always better. While compact devices may offer some portability, the SteriPlas delivers a level of cold plasma density and therapeutic power that smaller devices cannot replicate. This enhanced efficacy, combined with its rigorous safety measures, positions SteriPlas as an ideal choice for clinics and healthcare providers seeking the best outcomes for their patients.
In wound care, where every treatment counts, the SteriPlas’s larger design is not just a feature—it’s a necessity. It’s a testament to Adtec Healthcare’s commitment to ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of care without compromise.
Conclusion
As cold plasma therapy continues to grow in its applications, healthcare professionals face an important decision in choosing devices that prioritize both treatment potency and patient safety. With its robust, thoughtfully engineered design, the SteriPlas offers an unparalleled therapeutic solution that addresses both needs, setting a new benchmark in cold plasma wound therapy. Adtec Healthcare invites clinicians to explore the SteriPlas difference, where bigger means better, safer, and more effective healing.
SteriPlas combats Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
In 2016, the NHS identified the need to find clinically and cost-effective interventions for patients with diabetic foot disease as a high priority (College of Podiatry, 2019). This urgency is compounded by the rapidly rising incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a particular concern in people with DFU as infections are the leading cause of amputation (Hurlow et al 2018).
The SteriPlas has the ability to kill all forms of bacteria regardless if they are Gram-positive or Gram-negative or if they are protected within biofilm. It is a broad spectrum, topical antibacterial medical device that delivers consistent Premium Cold Plasma therapy directly at the site of infection. By eliminating bacteria that prevents the body from healing, it significantly reduces the antimicrobial resistance rates and prevents amputations from occurring.
Our proven clinical trials and studies have placed the SteriPlas as the leading Cold Plasma medical device in the market.

SteriPlas proven to heal patients faster
“In cases with biofilm complications, CAP patients had an average wound area reduction of 44% whereas patients from the Control group had an average increase of 167%.”
Diabetic foot ulcers complicated with biofilm are already prone to poor arterial flow, therefore, the delivery of antibiotics to a complicated site already infected with multi-resistant bacteria may pose little to no help in healing the wound. This unfortunately can lead to amputations and further complications.
The SteriPlas benefits significantly to antibiotics due to its unfailing physical mode of action delivery during treatment. Multi-resistant bacteria, whether embedded and protected in biofilm, is quickly destroyed in as quick as 2 minutes. The treatment is delivered directly at the site of infection, is painless, contact-free, and most importantly has no side effects. As bacteria is destroyed so easily with our Premium Cold Plasma therapy, patients are healed and relieve the costs burden associated to hospitals.
“The SteriPlas is a cost and clinically effective treatment option for diabetic patients with infected chronic lower leg wounds in the absence of significant peripheral arterial disease.”

If you are within the Taiwan region and you are interested to learn more, please contact us so that we may introduce you to our partner.
Does more power lead to enhanced wound care treatment?
In simple terms, the answer is yes. To look more in depth at the question we need to understand how the Cold Plasma is generated and the mechanics behind it. The SteriPlas boasts a large 12cm2 treatment area which fully covers typical chronic wounds expected in wound clinics. There are of course much larger wounds than 12cm2 but thanks to the mechanics behind the SteriPlas it only requires a 2 minute treatment time for each 12cm2 area it covers.
There are some Cold Plasma devices that claim a 100cm2 treatment area but how does the power behind it compare to the SteriPlas? It is without question, the SteriPlas is one of the largest Cold Plasma medical devices on the medical market and it is strategically large for a reason. It is the only Cold Plasma medical device able to produce a deep, dense, and rich Cold Plasma. To produce repeatable and consistent results with antibiofilm properties, there are a series of crucial internal components in the SteriPlas that collectively work to perform this including the 200W 2.45GHz microwave generator, plasma ignition control, mass flow controller, arm to hold plasma treatment head in place during use, control system linked to interlock and alarms, cooling system and safety circuits.
Smaller Cold Plasma devices with larger treatment areas generate different plasmas. Whilst some reduction of bacterial load may be observed with their use, it is strictly limited to superficial and small wounds certainly with no biofilm presence. To combat biofilm within wounds, the Cold Plasma does need to be deeply penetrating and to do this more power and plasma density is certainly required.
The SteriPlas, by default, is designed to target deep, chronic and severe infections with biofilm complications within the wound. Peer reviewed clinical evidence for smaller devices with larger treatment areas are still limited.
The SteriPlas boasts a wide clinical bibliography of 80+ peer reviewed clinical trials and studies. It is the leader in the Cold Plasma medical market for a reason.

Is all Cold Plasma created equal?
There is no doubt a wide variety of Cold Plasma medical devices currently on the market and new Cold Plasma designs often being released by startup companies. But how do these devices compare in efficacy, strength, reliability, and performance?
To say all Cold Plasmas are the same, which some companies (shockingly) do, would be farfetched and misleading. This is like comparing a race between a sports car and a bicycle or saying all liquids or gases are the same – the product and plasma components are technically very different.
When Adtec first developed Cold Plasma and carried out the first ever clinical trials on wounds many years ago, our data showed the remarkably strong and reputable results that we still deliver today. This is exclusively for our range of Adtec Cold Plasma medical devices. Our data is often cited by other Cold Plasma companies as their own medical devices lack strength in efficacy and performance in clinical data.
The important questions to raise are:
- What is the frequency of Cold Plasma applications per week to achieve full healing?
- How deep can the Cold Plasma penetrate?
- How quick can the Cold Plasma be applied?
- What is the delivery method of Cold Plasma?
- Is Cold Plasma limited to acute and superficial wounds or can it treat deep, chronic wounds with biofilm?
- What is the clinical evidence for the product itself and not cold plasma in general?
Whilst there are some Cold Plasma medical devices that do not satisfy the requirements met by a wound clinician, the SteriPlas does remain the leader and favorable choice in the Cold Plasma medical market. A once per week treatment time of 2 minutes per 12cm2 has been shown to accelerate healing in chronic, problematic, and non-healing wounds with biofilm presence. This cannot be said for all other Cold Plasma devices which recommend treatment once per day and are only indicated for acute, small, and superficial wounds certainly with no biofilm presence.
Due to its overall larger size which houses crucial components ensuring a consistent, reliable and therapeutic Cold Plasma, the SteriPlas is the only microwave-energy, Cold Argon Plasma medical device which delivers deep, dense and rich Cold Plasma able to kill all bacterial species embedded within biofilm. We can boast that no side effects have been reported with our Cold Plasma medical device since the history of its making.

Why Bigger is Better?
The SteriPlas has been widely documented in clinical trials and publications for its strong antibacterial efficacy and accelerated healing properties. Being the first medical device worldwide to show just how effective Cold Plasma can be from clinical trials on wounds, it is still the only medical device covering a larger 12cm2 treatment area using microwave-energy, safe, reputable, and consistent Cold Plasma. It is also the only medical device that can treat wounds within this size for only 2 minutes to achieve antibiofilm efficacy with no reported side effects.
So how does it compare to a Cold Plasma Pen?
As useful as Plasma pens can be for very small and superficial wounds without biofilm, 2 minutes is required for the treatment area equivalent to a few mms.
This means to treat a large and deep wound that the SteriPlas can do in 2 minutes (hands-free), then Plasma Pens would require in excess of 30 minutes with handheld use to reduce the bacterial load present in the same wound area . The SteriPlas is the only medical device with antibiofilm efficacy due to its dense and deep penetration capabilities making it the leader in Cold Plasma medicine.
