Did you see the Adtec SteriPlas featured in the Czech Society for Wound Healing magazine?
Dr Hokynková from the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery at Brno Hospital in Czech Republic had published a case study in the magazine to document the efficacy of the Adtec SteriPlas after having tested this on a variety of wounds including pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers.
The article validates the SteriPlas’ ability to significantly reduce microbial load within the wound which allows the body to regain control and accelerate healing of stalled wounds. This includes wounds that are already contaminated with biofilm and listed for amputations. A change from the conventional therapies already existing on the market, the Adtec SteriPlas has proven to reverse further deterioration of complicated wounds and allow full healing and stability to be achieved.

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.
The SteriPlas can be used to treat a variety of areas on the body
We are proud have been able to treat a wide scale of body areas. Our clinical evidence ranges across a multitude of conditions and areas of the body including the foot, leg, arms, head, neck, scalp, hands, axilla and even groin. All wounds/lesions present in these areas of the body had shown positive responses to treatment with the Adtec SteriPlas.
We are always open to treating new conditions and welcome any study proposals that you have. If you would like to get the Adtec SteriPlas in your clinic or hospital, please contact us at info@adtecplasma.com where one of our team members will assist you with the delivery.
SteriPlas' patented 6 electrode plasma system
Did you know our plasma chamber features a patented 6 electrode plasma torch system? This is where the cold plasma is generated before it is propelled with the gas flow over the treatment site. Our 60+ peer reviewed clinical studies have shown that accelerated healing in stalled and non-healing wounds/skin conditions can be achieved with no side effects reported.

SteriPlas cold plasma successful at killing multi-resistant bacteria
Our animation video shows how bacteria are easily destroyed using our patented cold plasma technology. The components of cold plasma work collectively to target bacteria and physically rupture the structure, allowing micropores to be created which gains access to the microbial DNA to be destroyed. This effectively kills bacteria, even if they are protected within biofilm.

New SteriPlas version and change in device Classification
Due to our proven clinical success in treating non-healing and challenging wounds, we are proud to announce the upgrade of our medical device classification to Class IIb for the Adtec SteriPlas .
This change in medical device classification also supports its continued use for treating chronic and deep wounds and surgical site infections and for treating dermatological conditions.
We also announce the product launch of a new version of our SteriPlas Version 2 model in our Cold Plasma medical device family delivering the same performance. We are very proud of the safety of our devices with no incidents or adverse events reported in 15 years of use.
Adtec Healthcare celebrates yet another RCT publication
Adtec Healthcare celebrates another prospective, randomized and placebo-controlled trial (RCT) publication featuring our cold plasma medical device for the treatment of chronic wounds. The clinical trial conducted at the Essen University Medical Center in Germany and led by Professor Joachim Dissemond discusses the strong benefit of using the Adtec SteriPlas to treat chronic wounds. This is our first RCT measuring wound healing rates with respect to overall wound size using cold plasma.
The study consisting of three groups (Group 1 - plasma 1x/week, Group 2- plasma 3x/week and Group 3 - placebo 1x/week) shows the significant wound size reduction when using cold plasma vs placebo. Not surprisingly, Groups 1 and 2 led an astonishing 63.0% and 46.8% reduction in wound size for chronic wound patients, whereas Group 3 (placebo-treated) patients had increased in wound size by 17.5% larger.
The full publication can be viewed here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ddg.14294
The rich data of the RCT further demonstrates why our cold plasma medical device, the Adtec SteriPlas, continues to lead the way for cold plasma medicine by accelerating healing in non-healing and problematic wounds with the strong advantage of no side effects. The use of the Adtec SteriPlas is simple – a quick supplement to your standard treatment program for your patients.

Adtec Healthcare's new project with Hull York Medical School testing gas plasma on Osteomyelitis bone infections.
We are excited to announce the study “Gas Plasma for the Prevention and Management of Osteomyelitis Biofilms” has now begun at the Hull York Medical School. The study led by Dr Angela Oates and funded by the National Biofilms Innovation Centre will seek to test the efficacy of our gas plasma system on osteomyelitis bone infections using our PlasmaTact device. This project will develop a novel laboratory testing model to evaluate and optimise plasma treatment for osteomyelitis biofilm infections.
We have already demonstrated that our gas plasma medical device, the Adtec SteriPlas, has proven antibacterial efficacy and accelerated healing in problematic and non-healing wounds with strong evidence collected from our extensive library of clinical trials and publications. This includes diabetic foot ulcers which are often complicated by biofilm. Over the course of its existence it has shown that no side effects have been reported which offers patients a safe and reliable treatment option. It has also shown that a 2-minute treatment time is sufficient to achieve exceptional results and that it is also a broad spectrum antibacterial with the ability to kill a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial superinfections.
The PlasmaTact utilizes the same gas plasma technology from the Adtec SteriPlas. The main difference between the two devices is that the PlasmaTact offers a smaller handheld style treatment area of 1cm2 (vs 12cm2 with the SteriPlas) and offers users the ability to change the power output settings (vs the fixed settings with the SteriPlas).
Osteomyelitis (OM) is biofilm infection of the bone and is a common and costly complication in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients often resulting in amputations. Long-term antimicrobial therapy is widely used as a primary treatment for OM or as an adjunct to surgical approaches however, there is a failure rate of up to 35% and an associated increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance. There is an urgent clinical need to develop alternative non-antimicrobial approaches to treat infections, and currently there is a lack of credible alternatives in the market for the treatment of OM.
Evaluating the efficacy of gas plasma in OM represents unique challenges as both the biofilm growth and physical characteristics of OM bone will affect the delivery and activity of the plasma. In vitro biofilm model systems offer a means by which rapid, costs effective and standardised evaluation of anti-biofilm treatments can be undertaken.
The PATROL project is a new and exciting collaborative project between Adtec Healthcare and Dr Angela Oates of the University of Hull Wound Healing Group which is supported by NBIC PoC Award. The overall aim of this project is to develop an osteomyelitis biofilm infection model to support the optimisation and evaluation of a cold plasma technology for the management and prevention of OM.
This collaborative project represents the first phase of the novel utilisation of Adtec SteriPlas to treat OM or as an adjunct current therapy. Successful translation of this technology to treat OM will reduce antimicrobial usage and associated OM amputations, reducing NHS costs and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
