Atmospheric pressure plasmas for Onychomycosis (Fungal nail) treatment (Zilan Xiong, Jeff Roe, Tim Grammar) Nonthermal plasma in air generates antimicrobial reactive oxygen and nitrogen species at near-room temperature. Reactive plasma species, at the moderate concentrations and doses found in nonthermal plasma streams, appear to cause little to no permanent damage to living tissue, while being capable of efficiently destroying microbial cells. Our study focuses on using atmospheric pressure plasma to treat Onychomycosis. This project is cooperated with DeviceFarm founded by Dr. Jeff Roe and Dr. Tim Grammar. Disinfection of contact lenses by using atmospheric pressure plasma (Zilan Xiong) A contact lens, or simply contact, is a thin lens placed directly on the surface of the eye. Directly to the eyeball, it may cause some eye infection disease by bacteria, fungus, virus, Acanthamoeba, etc. A typical example of eye infection disease by wearing contact lenses is keratitis. The existing disinfection solutions or devices like Multipurpose solutions, Saline solution, Daily cleaner, Hydrogen peroxide systems, Enzymatic cleaner, Ultraviolet, vibration or ultrasound devices. Aiming to develop a novel, high efficiency, easy taken, cheap, and convenient disinfection device by using atmospheric pressure air plasma. This project is found by the world's third largest contact company.-CooperVision.
