Argon Humidification Exacerbates Antimicrobial and Anti-MRSA kINPen Plasma Activity [PDF]
Life, 2023 Gas plasma is a medical technology with antimicrobial properties. Its main mode of action is oxidative damage via reactive species production. The clinical efficacy of gas plasma-reduced bacterial burden has been shown to be hampered in some cases. Since
