usesConfiguration
- CAP treatment at no electric currents or fields configuration: A fine mesh (Aaronia Shield ULTRA) placed between the CAP electrode and the skin and connected to ground potential
- CAP treatment at reduced RONS concentration configuration: CAP electrode embedded in a selfconstructed hood; Compressed air at 295 K and 50% relative humidity streamed through the hood at a volume flow rate of 5 l/min
- Configuration for PlasmaDerm FLEX: power density of 4 mW/cm^2; gas temperatures of 30 °C – 40 °C; electron energies of 8 – 12 eV; rate of 300 Hz; distance of 2 mm between counter electrode and dielectric surface
- Configuration for TIVITA Tissue System: positioned 0.5 m above the treatment area; baseline recording for 10 minutes with one picture every 2 min; post-treatment assessment for 30 min with one picture every 2 min
- Standard CAP treatment configuration: CAP source positioned and operated on the skin tissue as recommended by the manufacturer
