success stories
We at terraplasma are at the forefront of the development of cold plasma: Some of our compact innovations are already in use thousands of times – in medicine, in private households and in business environments. Together with our partners, we were able to develop unique products that sustainably solve known problems in a completely new way. Check out our success stories here – available today.
in the treatment of PFAS with cold plasma
terraplasma has launched a pilot project “Cold plasma for innovative drinking water treatment KIT” in collaboration with the municipality of Burgkirchen an der Alz 2024 to reduce PFAS contamination on a trial basis using cold plasma technology.
After an initial test run with water that was too slightly contaminated, a second test was carried out with a water sample taken in Kastl, a heavily contaminated region near the Gendorf plant. Experts accompanied the water sampling in order to test the effectiveness of the cold plasma technology under realistic conditions. Samples were taken from a total of three wells in order to analyze different water qualities – both with and without iron and manganese as well as different PFAS concentrations.
The discussion with those responsible, including water master Michael Mayer, highlighted the challenges of drinking water treatment. The municipality invests considerable resources in existing technologies such as activated carbon filters and UV disinfection, with annual operating costs in the six-figure euro range. Experience to date shows that each water must be treated individually and that new technologies are welcome in order to improve the purification processes.
The knowledge gained will be incorporated into further research into the use of cold plasma for PFAS reduction. terraplasma sees this collaboration as a valuable opportunity to test the technology in real-life applications and make a contribution to sustainable drinking water supplies.
with our patented cold plasma technology
Introducing Phlas®, the revolutionary cold plasma device from hyped about science GmbH, a Munich-based skin technology company. Phlas® uses advanced ionized gas technology to enhance and protect your skin by strengthening its barrier, reducing redness and soothing irritation. Phlas® is gentle and free from heat or harsh chemicals, making it suitable for all skin types.
The basic idea behind Phlas® was to integrate the extensive experience gained from medical device development into a device for everyone – while at the same time drastically reducing costs and offering an extremely compact and stylish form.

disinfection: PlasmaEgg
The first mobile disinfection device with cold plasma
The days of chemical-soaked disinfectant wipes or aggressive disinfectants are over – thanks to cold plasma, users of the PlasmaEgg from Kimetec GmbH can now disinfect objects easily, safely and sustainably without any further chemical additives or heat.
Whether in the laboratory, practice, office or at home – simply place the items to be disinfected in the treatment unit, start the device and remove them after a few minutes. Effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores and multi-resistant germs.
for wound treatment with cold plasma
Cold plasma offers a breakthrough solution for medicine by accelerating healing processes and effectively fighting infections. Cold plasma generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species such as ozone (O₃), hydroxyl radicals (OH) and nitric oxide (NO). These promote blood circulation, activate growth factors and simultaneously destroy bacteria, viruses and fungi. The tissue remains intact and no resistant germs develop.
The plasma care® from terraplasma medical GmbH is a handy and mobile medical device for treating wounds with cold atmospheric plasma. It is about the size and weight of a telephone receiver and has a battery capacity that is sufficient for around 120 treatments. It can therefore be used by outpatient wound specialists as well as in clinical and private practice settings.
To ensure sterile treatment and avoid cross-contamination, the plasma care® is used in combination with a sterile packaged spacer. The following rule applies: one spacer per patient and wound. The treatment area per wound surface is 13 cm². For larger wounds, the spacer can be used up to 6 times within one treatment session.
