Drexel University Researchers Develop Cold Plasma Technology For Medical Use

By admin | August 7, 2008

Researchers at the A.J. Drexel Plasma Institute have decided to commercialize their development of cold plasma technology as a medical treatment across a wide spectrum of conditions.

Partnering with Plasma Technology Incorporated, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Dr. Gary Friedman and Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Chair Dr. Alex Fridman have developed prototype medical devices that can kill bacteria including Staphylococcus, Streptococus and E. Coli in living tissue in seconds without causing side effects.

Cold plasma technology has also been shown to stop bleeding, making it potentially useful in surgery and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Cold plasma is a commonly used component in flourescent light bulbs and high-end televisions. It’s therapeutic effect is related to its ability to enhance and quicken biochemical reactions.

Initial research support was provided by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
