LVAD - Heidelberg publication 2021

 

Congratulations to Dr Kremer and the Cardiology Team at The University Hospital Heidelberg for their new publication, “Follow-Up after Cold Atmospheric Argon Plasma for Wound Management of Driveline Infections - A Promising Strategy”. This publication features the use of our Adtec SteriPlas medical device for the treatment of driveline infections (DLI). The results demonstrate how the safety, reliability and painless treatment from the Adtec SteriPlas can significantly reduce the wound and infection around the DLI, with the opportunity for sustainable freedom from DLI.


The SteriPlas sets foot in the U.S.A.

We are excited to share news of our collaboration with The Southern Illinois University in United States of America. Our Adtec SteriPlas will be used as part of their study to examine the effect of cold plasma on a variety of infection burn model cases in a research laboratory setting. This study aims to help tackle the outbreaks of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms that continues to be an issue for burns cases. We look forward to providing more information and the results as the study progresses.


Poster presentation at the International Symposium on the Diabetic Foot Conference, Hague.

Wednesday 22nd May 2019

A great poster presentation from Dr Aye Aye Thant at the ISDF 2019 conference!

Dr Thant’s presentation demonstrated the benefits of using the Adtec SteriPlas on diabetic foot ulcer patients.

Prior to the use of the Adtec SteriPlas, all patients in their retrospective study suffered from chronic and non-healing foot and leg ulcers with multi resistant bacteria and recalcitrance to antibiotics. All patients had at least 3 courses of intravenous antibiotics for more than 6 weeks prior with poor response.

The Adtec SteriPlas was then introduced as a treatment option. Instantly, positive results could be seen with the infection management for these patients. For example, one patient who was previously considered for an amputation was now improved and risk free. Healthy granulation could be observed with all patients, offering hope and an alternative to antibiotics that would usually be offered.

Gas plasma shows promising results in the treatment of non-healing wounds

Renowned for its ability to successfully treat non-healing wounds, the Adtec SteriPlas is a must have for any dermatology and wound care departments.

This 61-year-old patient with a long-term venous ulcer was stalled from healing and present with Klebsiella oxytoca and Enterobacter cloacae. The patient went through a short treatment programme with our gas plasma medical device to achieve exceptional results. Figures (a) - (b) shows the visual changes of the ulcer throughout the short course of treatment with the Adtec SteriPlas.

Figure (a) shows the patient's ulcer at the start of the treatment
Figure (b) shows after 7 applications of our gas plasma.
Figure (c) shows after 11 treatments of our gas plasma.

At the end of the treatment programme, swabs which would normally have shown signs of bacteria were now sterile, allowing the patient to further progress into full healing.
