Poster presentation at the DFSG 2022

Did you see Dr Pierides' poster presentation yesterday at the DFSG Diabetic Foot Study Group conference? The poster featured the Adtec SteriPlas success in treating chronic infected diabetic foot ulcers.

The SteriPlas replaced the use of antibiotics for these heavily infected and impacted wounds and had shown remarkable success.

Don't forget to visit us at the Diabetic Foot Study Group (DFSG) conference this weekend. We're having a great time welcoming you to our booth. Our SteriPlas is here ready to give you a live demonstration on how easy it is to use.

 


TSBIWH Annual Meeting & Symposium in Taiwan

An eventful weekend for our distributor in Taiwan as they demonstrate the strong antibacterial efficacy of the Adtec SteriPlas to health care professionals at the TSBIWH 2022 Annual Meeting and Symposium.

 


Presentation at the DFSG 2022

We're so excited for exhibiting at the Diabetic Foot Study Group (DFSG) conference next week. Please be sure to visit us at booth no.11 where we will based during the conference. We welcome you to see our SteriPlas Cold Plasma medical device live in action.

We're also excited to announce that the Diabetes Team at Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust will have a poster presentation illustrating the strong antibacterial efficacy and healing qualities of the Adtec SteriPlas for diabetic foot ulcers.

The poster, "DGH EXPERIENCE OF USING COLD PLASMA MEDICAL DEVICE AS AN ADJUNCT THERAPY TO ANTIMICROBIALS IN TREATING CHRONIC NON HEALING INFECTED DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS" will be presented by Jemma Cruickshank on Saturday 17th September, 13:25 - 14:25.

See you all soon!


Antimicrobial (antibiotic) Resistance – the drugs won’t work !

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global threat of far-reaching proportions. It is estimated that drug resistant infections contribute to nearly 5 million deaths every year and predicted to increase to over 10 million deaths every year.  WHO has declared that AMR is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity.

(The worldwide total deaths from COVID is now just over 6 million and we all know how frightening it was before the vaccine was developed)

 

AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. As a result, the medicines become ineffective and infections persist in the body, increasing the risk of spread to others. Microorganisms that develop antimicrobial resistance are sometimes referred to as “superbugs”. Without effective antimicrobials, the success of modern medicine in treating infections, including during major surgery and cancer chemotherapy, would be at increased risk. Chronic infections if left untreated could result in tissue damage, amputation, longer stays in hospitals, surgical interventions, or increased possibility of mortality. Patients who are infected with drug-resistant infections are more likely to develop complications and are up to three times more likely to die from the infection. Non-healing wounds in particular, are characterised by complex and mixed bacterial populations, often involving antibiotic-resistant bacteria as well as phenotypically tolerant bacteria in biofilm form. The biofilm factor is clearly of considerable clinical importance: it protects bacteria from antimicrobial agents leading to persistent and difficult to treat chronic infections, and it exacerbates the spread of antibiotic resistance. Surgical Site Infections are also linked to anti-microbial resistance.

 

SteriPlas cold plasma technology kills bacteria by a physical mode of action and bacteria are therefore unlikely to develop primary or secondary resistance, which we have documented from our clinical studies. SteriPlas cold plasma also kills antibiotic resistant bacteria (e.g. MRSA) and kills bacteria encased in biofilm which are typically up to 1000 times more resistant to antibiotics. SteriPlas has proven clinical efficacy in treating wound infections,  diabetic foot infections and surgical site infections in all clinical studies, all with the bonus of no side effects reported. 

 

SteriPlas cold plasma can be used to treat topical infections reserving antibiotics for severe systemic infections.

Diabetic Foot Study Group Conference

Are you excited as we are?

Looking forward to resuming exhibition season at the Diabetic Foot Study Group conference in Slovakia.

We'll be exhibiting between 16-18 Sept with our Adtec SteriPlas on demonstration ready to show you just how quick and effective it is to use and combat antibiotic resistant bacteria within diabetic foot ulcers.


Welcoming delegates at The Malvern Diabetic Foot conference

We’re having a great time welcoming you all to our booth at the Malvern Diabetic Foot Conference, introducing you all to the benefits of the SteriPlas cold plasma for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.

For those wishing to learn more about our clinical efficacy in diabetic foot ulcers, please contact us at info@adtecplasma.com for more information. 


Taiwan Wound Therapy Society Conference, March 2022

 

Sharing some photos from last weekend at the Taiwan Wound Therapy Society conference.

Our medical distributor, SG Biomedical, had a productive weekend demonstrating our SteriPlas to doctors and nurses keen to learn about the benefits of cold plasma for the treatment of wounds, surgical site infections and medical dermatology. 

 

For more information about the Adtec SteriPlas and how to obtain this in the SE Asia region, please contact our distributor SG Biomedical for more information.

Congratulations to our Business Development Manager, Jeiram, for his published chapter in the “Textbook of Good Clinical Practice in Cold Plasma Therapy”. This prestigious book houses powerful material from esteemed authors in the cold plasma medicine field.

 

Jeiram’s chapter, “SteriPlas® and PlasmaTact®”, discusses the importance of Adtec Healthcare’s influence in the cold plasma medicine field from being the first company ever to conduct cold plasma clinical trials on wounds and to our modern day clinical efficacy in wounds, surgical site infections and medical dermatology skin conditions.

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.
