Device for the planar treatment of areas of human or animal skin or mucous membrane surfaces by means of a cold atmospheric pressure plasma

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a device for treatment of skin, mucous membranes or body parts with a cold atmospheric pressure plasma by generating a dielectric barrier surface discharge, including a flexible insulating material, a flexible high-voltage electrode, a flexible dielectric, a flexible grounded electrode, a gas supply, wherein the flexible high-voltage electrode is embedded between the flexible insulating material and the flexible dielectric, wherein the grounded electrode is applied on a surface of the flexible dielectric that is configured to face a curved surface of a body part to be treated, wherein the flexible high-voltage electrode, the flexible dielectric and the flexible grounded electrode of the device form a flexible layered arrangement for providing the cold atmospheric pressure plasma, wherein the arrangement forms a hollow spherical body with a closed volume and wherein a plasma can be ignited for treating the curved surface with the cold atmospheric pressure plasma.
