Alleviation of chronic venous leg ulcers with a hand‐held dielectric barrier discharge plasma generator (PlasmaDerm^®<scp>VU</scp>‐2010): results of a monocentric, two‐armed, open, prospective, randomized and controlled trial (<scp>NCT</scp>01415622)

Abstract

Cold atmospheric plasma displays favourable antibacterial effects. We demonstrated that plasma treatment with the PlasmaDerm® VU-2010 device is safe and effective in patients with chronic venous leg ulcers. Thus, larger controlled trials and the development of devices with larger application surfaces are warranted.
