Global Medical Cold Plasma Industry Growth and Trends Forecast to 2032

Definition

Cold plasma is generated by applying energy to a gas, which makes the gas molecules or atoms lose their outer electrons and become ionized. It is comprised of a reactive mix of electrons, ions, excited atoms, and molecules – reactive species (e.g. O3, NO, NO2, etc.), UV radiation, and heat. Cold plasma is maintained at temperatures below 40°C, which unlike hot plasma enables it to be applied to living organisms. Cold plasma in medicine has been shown to inactivate or reduce bacteria, fungi, viruses, spores and allergens, odor, and harmful molecules very efficiently. Extensive research has shown that the concentration and composition of cold plasma components can vary significantly for different plasma sources. It is this ability to modify the cold plasma for specific purposes that makes it possible to design a unique cold plasma technology for many different medical applications. Multiple studies show its use in the field of dentistry, implantology, dermatology, oncology, and as a treatment for antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
