Cold Plasma Diabetic Foot Ulcer Clinical Trial Published
Congratulations to Dr Cornelia Wiegand for her published clinical trial paper, “The efficacy of non-thermal gas plasma in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers stalled by subclinical, biofilm-related wound infection”. This clinical trial paper features the use of our SteriPlas Cold Plasma medical device for the treatment of chronic DFUs infected with biofilm.
The parameters of this study were set much higher than a normal study, with there being a much higher standard of care given (3x per week) vs a typical outpatient setting of 1x weekly.
We wanted to show that even when chronic diabetic foot ulcers are subjected to more frequent outpatient visits with biopsies and swabs included (something not often collected during standard outpatient visits), SteriPlas Cold Plasma still prevails as the successful treatment method due to its physical mode of action and ability to kill all types of bacteria protected within biofilm.
