Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP)

Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is a state of ionized gas generated at room temperature, containing charged particles like ions and electrons. It is produced by applying electrical energy to a gas such as air, creating reactive species capable of sterilizing surfaces, promoting wound healing, or treating skin conditions. Unlike hot plasmas used in industrial processes, CAP remains cool enough for direct contact with living tissues, making it safe for medical and ecological applications. Its ability to kill bacteria and promote regeneration stems from these reactive species, offering a versatile tool in healthcare and environmental sanitation.
