The technology is a portable and more flexible plasma device called “MobiPlas” for the treatment of skin diseases and the support of wound healing.  The device uses argon as the carrier gas and has a refillable steel tank, similar to a paintball gas canister. This allows MobiPlas to operate autonomously for up to ten minutes, which is sufficient for standard wound treatment. Power is supplied by a portable power bank. An integrated control unit regulates the generation of high voltage and the flow of gas fully automatically.
The safety and performance of the unit has been tested to an official standard for medical plasma equipment. Ozone levels remained below acceptable limits at a distance of more than 20 centimetres. The temperature at the tip of the plasma jet reached a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for medical use. The measured electrical currents that could reach the patient were well below the specified safety limit.
During testing of the first prototype, there were occasional current fluctuations caused by the heating of a component in the power supply. Solutions have been developed to optimise the operating characteristics.
