Abstract:
Plasma medicine offers an innovative and advanced physical approach to wound care that uniquely combines wound antimicrobial effects (primary goal) and accelerated regeneration of injured tissue (secondary goal). This review explores its transformative potential in modern medicine, demonstrating how this technology can enhance wound healing, reduce microbial load, and improve clinical outcomes. A certified plasma device provides an add-on technology that has the potential to improve current wound care medical procedures by integrating findings from basic research, preclinical models, and clinical applications. This review underscores the significant role of plasma medicine in transforming wound care practices by bridging fundamental research, preclinical validation, regulatory compliance, and clinical application, paving the way for safer, more effective, and minimally invasive treatment strategies.

Phases of Wound Repair
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...
Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
