Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma needle for in vivo medical treatment: recent developments and perspectives
Eva Stoffels,I.E. Kieft,R.E.J. Sladek,L J M van den Bedem,E.P. van der Laan,M Maarten Steinbuch +5 more
TL;DR: The hitherto unravelled facts on the interactions of a cold atmospheric plasma with living cells and tissues are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superficial treatment of mammalian cells using plasma needle
TL;DR: Under moderate conditions (low-power and low concentration of molecular species) the plasma needle does not heat biological samples and does not induce cell death, which may prove very useful in fine surgery, where a part of the tissue must be removed with high-precision, without damage to the adjacent cells and without inflammatory reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reattachment and Apoptosis After Plasma-Needle Treatment of Cultured Cells
I.E. Kieft,M. Kurdi,E. Stoffels +2 more
TL;DR: Long-term effects of plasma-needle treatment were assessed, with special focus on reattachment and apoptosis, using a plasma needle to remove cells from their surroundings without causing necrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical and optical characterization of the plasma needle
TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible plasma probe was designed to improve the ease of working on biological samples, and the needle was confined in a plastic tube through which helium flow was supplied, which was characterized by impedance measurements and emission spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of UV irradiation and gas plasma treatment on living mammalian cells and bacteria: a comparative approach
TL;DR: Living mammalian cells and bacteria were exposed to irradiation from narrow-band UV lamps and treated with a nonthermal gas plasma (plasma needle), and the fibroblasts seem to be fairly resistant to UV radiation and/or radicals.
