Cold plasma against chronic wounds

There is now new hope for patients with chronic, complex wounds: The plasma care® from the medical technology company terraplasma medical GmbH inactivates fungi, bacteria and even MRE (multi-resistant pathogens) in wounds and supports the healing process.

The technology of the devices is based on research by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics under Prof. Dr. dr h.c. Gregor Morfill (CTO terraplasma GmbH). In order to help as many patients as possible with problematic or complex wounds and to ensure widespread use in clinics and care facilities, plasma care® will be distributed by Viromed GmbH in the future.

In addition to the bactericidal and healing-promoting effect, cold plasma therapy in wound care offers strong advantages for the healthcare system, including a reduction in nursing costs, shorter hospital stays and an improved quality of life for the patients.

terraplasma and TUM develop “CAPbot” prototype of a mobile cleaning robot with plasma-activated mist

As part of an interdisciplinary research project called “CAPbot”, terraplasma GmbH and the Chair of Medical Engineering Materials and Implants at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are developing a new type of platform technology for ground-based disinfection. The aim is to integrate a cold plasma source into an automated wiping robot system for use in highly sensitive environments such as clinics, food processing, the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries and public facilities.

terraplasma focuses on innovative water treatment with patented cold plasma technology

Garching / Munich, March 21st, 2025 – Tomorrow is World Water Day: The aim of this day of action, launched by UNESCO in 1993, is to draw attention to the importance of (clean) water as the most important basis of life for all of hu-manity. Water is a limited and increasingly scarce resource. Around 785 mil-lion people are already affected by acute water shortages. The availability and quality of water is currently changing dramatically due to population growth and climate change and is constantly becoming the greatest challenge for us humans. These are good reasons for terraplasma GmbH to focus more on the large field of water treatment and to continue its success story.

terraplasma is developing a demonstrator for water treatment with Cold Plasma on an industrial scale

A few months ago, the Cold Plasma pioneers at terraplasma GmbH were able to show that with their highly effective technology it is possible to reduce the so-called “forever chemicals” (PFAS Per- and polyFluorinated Alkyl Substances) in drinking water. As part of a research study funded by ESA Spark Funding (https://www.esa-technology-broker.it/spark-funding/), the company wants to expand its research and develop a water treatment system with a significantly more powerful flow rate. Under the project name “Plasma Pure Water”, ter-raplasma aims to complete a larger demonstration system that will meet the requirements of large households and smaller industrial applications with at least 100 liters per minute. A first prototype named “tpWater” is already being tested and optimized.
