Cold plasma medical tape heals open wounds

Silicone tape incorporates ionized cold plasma that stimulates cells to treat wounds and disinfectants without antibiotics.

According to MB, the new invention of Coldplasmatech, Germany, received great attention from many medical partners in the European market.

The tape is made from silicone combined with ionized cold plasma , used directly on the wound. The device has a switch button and a cable connected to a transparent silicone sheet, about half the size of A4 paper. When turned on, the silicone sheet starts to turn green. The tape uses an external power source that activates oxygen and nitrogen in the air to stimulate active cells to promote wound healing. At the same time, the charged gas also has a high disinfection effect.

Carsten Mahrenholz, founder of Coldplasmatech, said the area of ​​the silicone sheet is quite large, so it can treat the entire area of ​​large wounds at the same time. The device has only one button that makes the treatment almost happen automatically.

"The medical staff had only one task to put the tape in place of the wound on the body. After many weeks of treatment, the wound would heal , " he introduced.

With this invention, Carsten Mahrenholz received the German Innovation Award for Startup due to the development of an appropriate device to be widely used in hospitals.

"We surveyed doctors, health workers, patients and supplies responsible for purchasing equipment in hospitals about their ability to use the device," he said. The hospital can save time, the treatment for patients will happen faster. "

Mahrenholz wishes to use tape to treat millions of sick people. He is promoting clinical research at hospitals to more accurately demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology.
