What is Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP)?
Introduction to Plasma
At WellGen, we are proud to offer Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) technology through our Human Regenerator Jet, a groundbreaking wellness device designed to bring the benefits of CAP to the whole body.
Plasma is known as the fourth state of matter, distinct from solids, liquids, and gases. It is produced when energy is supplied to a gas, causing its atoms to become supercharged, creating a mix of electrons and ions[1]. Plasma is present in stars, lightning, and the Northern Lights, and it can be artificially generated by heating a neutral gas or subjecting it to strong electric currents
CAP and its Historical Background
Nikola Tesla is considered the inventor of plasma technology (ionised gas). In 1928, cold plasma was discovered by Irving Langmuir. Plasma is a special, excited state of gas, generally called the fourth physical state after solid, liquid, and gas. Static charge, anions, and electrons are generated by high voltage. Depending on the plasma design, Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is used for medical and cell regenerative applications.
Cold Atmospheric Plasma supports blood circulation, increases the flow of oxygen to the cells, and helps to regenerates tissue. Additionally, the static electric fields stimulate cell division and growth, making treatment with CAP a painless and gentle process free of side effects. CAP operates at room temperature, enabling its use in various applications without the need for high temperatures or special containment.
The Science Behind CAP
- Anions (negative ions): Help improve the nervous system, increase serotonin and dopamine, decrease cortisol, and are beneficial for mental health, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
- UV Photons: Naturally boost melanin production, thereby enhancing Vitamin D production.
- Electrons: Boost ATP, cellular voltage, and mitochondrial health.
Applications and Potential
Medicine - CAP is being used in various medical fields due to its unique properties:
- Wound Care: CAP can kill bacteria and help tissues regenerate, making it effective in treating chronic wounds and infections.
- Dermatology: It is used to treat acne, psoriasis, and other skin conditions by reducing bacterial load and inflammation.
- Longevity and wellness: Leading longevity and wellness clinics have adopted CAP to aid healthy aging and cell regeneration.
- Cancer Treatments: Ongoing research explores the use of CAP in cancer therapy and is being used in alternative cancer hospitals to support and manage symptoms.
- Dental Care: CAP is utilised for root canal disinfection and treating oral ulcers and other periodontal conditions due to its ability to eliminate bacteria.
- Blood Coagulation: CAP enhances blood coagulation, which can be beneficial in surgeries and trauma care.
There are a number of other areas where CAP can be used:
- Environmental Applications: CAP effectively purifies water and air by breaking down pollutants and harmful microorganisms.
- Food Safety: CAP enhances food safety and hygiene.
- Other Applications: CAP is being explored in several innovative and emerging fields such as the textiles industry, electronics and agriculture
