Device, system, and method for antimicrobial treatment, method for producing the device, and computer program

Listing Description

This patent introduces an advanced device, system, and method specifically designed for antimicrobial treatment, targeting applications during surgical procedures, particularly minimally invasive operations. The innovation features a main body intended for partial insertion into the human body, which incorporates at least one plasma source. This plasma source includes a high-voltage electrode partially coated with a dielectric material. The dielectric barrier discharge, enabled by applying an electric voltage and cooperating with a secondary electrode, generates plasma. This plasma serves to sterilize and decontaminate the treated area effectively. The method also outlines a procedure for manufacturing the device, ensuring optimal performance and reliability during its use. A linked computer program is included, capable of controlling and enhancing the device’s functionality, thereby optimizing sterilization processes and patient safety.

Main Patent Claims:

  1. Device (11) for antimicrobial treatment during procedures, particularly minimally invasive procedures, within bodies, comprising a base body (1) for partial insertion into a body,
    characterized in that the device (11) further comprises at least one plasma source (12) arranged in at least one section of the base body (1), wherein the plasma source (12) has at least one high-voltage electrode (9) at least partially and particularly fully covered with a dielectric (10), which is configured to generate plasma by dielectric barrier discharge when an electrical voltage is applied and in interaction with a second electrode.
  2. Device (11) for antimicrobial treatment according to Claim 1,
    characterized in that, on the side of the dielectric (10) opposite the high-voltage electrode (9), a spacer element is arranged in at least one section of the base body (1) to create a gap between the plasma source (12) and body tissue.
  3. Device (11) for antimicrobial treatment according to Claim 2,
    characterized in that the spacer element is made of a structured, insulating, particularly electrically insulating material.
  4. Device (11) for antimicrobial treatment according to any of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that it further comprises the second electrode, wherein the second electrode is also arranged in a section of the base body (1).
  5. Device (11) for antimicrobial treatment according to Claim 4, …
