Handheld plasma flashlight rids skin of pathogens
Imagine a handheld, battery-powered plasma-producing device that can rid skin of bacteria in an instant — no soap and water required. It could be used in ambulance emergency calls, natural disaster sites, military combat operations, and wherever treatment is required in remote locations. It’s called a “plasma flashlight.” In an experiment, the plasma flashlight effectively [...]

Plasma Medicine at FutureMed
Dr. Satava noted that one of the fundamental changes about the information age is it represents a move away from physical objects to information and energy. “Energy is going to be a very important part of the future of medicine,” he reasoned. This form of medicine will be able to harness the power of plasma [...]
Bovie J-Plasma Handpiece Greenlighted in U.S.
