Plasma Medicine

Therapeutic applications of cold atmospheric plasma — microbial sterilization kinetics, wound healing acceleration, plasma jet dynamics, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species generation, and plasma-assisted dental treatments.

Plasma medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary field that harnesses cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) — partially ionized gas near room temperature — for biomedical applications. Unlike thermal plasmas used in surgery, cold plasmas generate a cocktail of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), UV photons, and electric fields that can selectively target pathogens and cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue intact.

These simulations let you model bacterial inactivation kinetics under plasma exposure, accelerate wound closure through plasma-stimulated cell proliferation, shape plasma jet plumes with gas flow and voltage parameters, track reactive species diffusion in biological media, and optimize plasma parameters for dental cavity sterilization — all grounded in peer-reviewed biophysics research.
