Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed herein are atmospheric pressure pin-to-hole pulsed spark discharge devices and methods for creating plasma. The devices include a conduit for fluidically communicating a gas, a plasma, or both, therethrough, portion of the conduit capable of being connected to a gas supply, and a second portion of the conduit capable of emitting a plasma; a positive electrode comprising a sharp tip; and a ground plate electrode. Disclosed are methods for treating a skin ulcer using non-thermal plasma include flowing a gas through a cold spark discharge zone simultaneously with the creation of a pulsed spark discharge to give rise to a non-thermal plasma emitted from a conduit, the non-thermal plasma comprising NO; and contacting a skin ulcer with said non-thermal plasma for sufficient time and intensity to give rise to treatment of the skin ulcer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. An atmospheric pressure pin-to-hole pulsed spark discharge device, comprising: a conduit for fluidically communicating as gas, a plasma, or both, therethrough, the conduit comprising first and second ends, the first end being capable of connecting to a gas supply, and a second end being capable of emitting a plasma; a positive electrode comprising a sharp tip, located within the conduit, the positive electrode further capable of receiving a high voltage from…
