Cold plasma therapy
Cold plasma therapy in animals is an innovative treatment method that, similar to that used in humans, aims to use cold plasma to promote wound healing and fight infections. It is used primarily to treat difficult-to-heal or infected wounds.
How it works in animals:
- Antimicrobial effect: Cold plasma works against bacteria, viruses and fungi, including multi-resistant germs, without developing resistance.
- Promoting wound healing: The plasma stimulates blood circulation, promotes cell proliferation and thus supports tissue regeneration.
- Inhibiting inflammation: The therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates the healing process.
Areas of application:
- Chronic and poorly healing wounds: For example, infected wounds, open skin areas or surgical scars.
- Infections: Treatment of bacterial or fungal skin infections.
- Postoperative care: Supporting healing after surgical procedures.
- Ear infections (otitis externa): Cold plasma can be used for inflamed and infected ears.
- Oral and dental diseases: Disinfection in the case of periodontitis or after tooth extractions.
Benefits for Animals:
- Painless application: Animals find the treatment pleasant and stress-free.
- No use of antibiotics necessary: Ideal for resistant germs.
- Non-invasive: No direct contact with the wound required.
- Short treatment time: Sessions usually only last a few minutes.
Conclusion:
Cold plasma therapy offers a promising, gentle alternative to conventional methods in animal treatment, especially for stubborn infections and poorly healing wounds.
