Project description: Plazmafon is based on usage of plasma flow with average mass temperature equaling 40îÑ, containing electrons, ions, excited atoms and molecules of hydrogen, oxygen, nitric oxides. The unit needs commercial power supply for operating. The unit is mobile, reliable and easy in operating. It can be used in operating theaters and bandaging rooms, for bedside and outpatient service of patients. The unit is also supplied with a battery as an autonomous power source.
The unit has a range of advantages:
- disinfection and healing of wounds without affecting living tissue,
- wide range of antimicrobial activities,
- significant decrease in time of tissue manipulation in comparison to other techniques,
- decrease in need for antibiotics and other medicines.
