Two new publications for our cold plasma treating surgical site infections
Congratulations to Dr Heinrich Rotering for two publications released this year documenting the treating of surgical site infections and infected drivelines with the Adtec SteriPlas.
His first publication this year, “Cold atmospheric plasma and advanced negative pressure wound therapy” features the unique combination of our Adtec SteriPlas medical device with NPWT. A link to the purchase of this paper can be found in the The Journal for Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery on Springer Link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00398-019-00355-0?fbclid=IwAR0O5Vh6i8QWtTuR7s8ha-10xwoJtd5n_YNY_NM5rQkDT8a8B9p9WWEKxBc
His second publication this year, “Preliminary Results of a New Treatment Strategy for Relapsed Left Ventricular Assist Device-Specific Infections” discusses how relapsed ventricular assist device-specific infections are associated with high morbidity, mortality, and hospital costs. A new combination of cold atmospheric plasma and special dressing technique with negative pressure wound therapy with an additional underlay of carbon cloth and hypochlorite rinsing solutions has been developed and reported in his study.
Dr Rotering has already demonstrated the proven antibacterial efficacy of the Adtec SteriPlas for the treatment of deep surgical site infections and infected drivelines in previous conference presentations, and these papers further demonstrate the accelerated healing potential with the unique combination of the two treatment therapies.
We encourage you to read these publications to learn the benefits of the Adtec SteriPlas for the treatment of complicated and stalled wounds and surgical site infections.
