Sterilization with plasma

Relyon plasma presents the versatile application possibilities of atmospheric pressure plasma within the webinar series “Plasma in the medical sector”. Starting with the production of medical products, through the dental industry to direct use in medicine and skin treatment.

The piezobrush® PZ3, powered by the CeraPlasTM F-type piezoelectric transformer (PT), is used to generate an atmosphere with a high concentration of chemically active species and ions.

Plasma treatment is used to activate the surfaces and thus optimally prepare them for the grafting process so that they become self-sterile.

Scientists of Osaka Dental University researched on the effect of plasma treatment of titanium surface on biocompatibility. The entire test series was performed with the piezobrush PZ2 from relyon plasma.

Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas are now being widely used for many types of surface disinfection and sterilization. Despite the wide area of applications and high demand for new effective treatments, the understanding of interactions of plasmas with living cells and tissue remains rather limited.
