Abstract:

Experiments reported here were conducted using atmospheric nitrogen gas remote plasma with a pulsed power source. The sterilization efficiency, major sterilization factors and most appropriate sterilization conditions were determined. By varying several factors such as hotplate temperature, relative humidity, water vapor supply location, etc., the most appropriate sterilization conditions were identified. The temperature of the hotplate was varied from 55°C to 75°C and with this 20°C increase in temperature, sterilization was completed in half the time. In this

Abstract:

Tissue-engineering must be either manufactured aseptically or sterilized after processing. To extend protection of medical devices against microbial contamination, various sterilization methods have been suggested. Hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization has been applied in hospitals worldwide for almost a decade. In this study, we investigated the sterilization efficacy of hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilizer with porous polyurethane sample. The result is suggested that hydrogen peroxide gas plasma can be applicable to the sterilization of polymer scaffold for tissue engineering materia

Abstract By tilting a plasma jet and rotating 360°, a large-area can be scanned and sterilized in a short time. Compared with the previous array device, this pipe has the significant advantages of high sterilization uniformity and low gas consumption. Firstly, a rotatable plasma jet device, which can control the swing and rotation of a jet pipe, is designed, and a corresponding theoretical model is established to guide the experiment. Secondly, with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) as the target bacteria, the device achieves a short sterilization time of 158 s—t

Abstract:

Plasma process is a promising physical method for sterilization. Due to the lack of suitable plasma diagnostics, installed in the reactors, a general lack of knowledge happens about the gas-phase chemical composition and the influence of operating parameters.

Abstract:

Utilizing a plasma to achieve sterilization is a possible alternative to conventional sterilization means as far as sterilization of heat-sensitive materials and innocuity of sterilizing agents are concerned. A major issue of plasma sterilization is the respective roles of ultraviolet (UV) photons and reactive species such as atomic and molecular radicals. At reduced gas pressure (£10 torr) and in mixtures containing oxygen, the UV photons dominate the inactivation process, with a significant contribution of oxygen atoms as an erosion agent. Actually, as erosion of the spore progresses, the nu

Prions, which cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are a notorious group of infectious agents with possibly the highest resistance to complete inactivation. Although various gas plasma instruments have been developed, studies on prion inactivation using gas plasma instruments are limited. Among them, the hydrogen peroxide gas plasma instrument, STERRAD® (Advanced Sterilization Products; ASP, Johnson & Johnson, Irvine, CA, USA), is recommended for prion inactivation of heat-sensitive medical devices. However, STERRAD® is not a plasma sterilizer but a hydrogen peroxide gas

Abstract:

Non-thermal (cold) plasma is subject of intensive scientific interest as an alternative sterilization technique for advanced control of microbial quality and safety in food biotechnology. The cold plasma is a flow of weakly ionized gas at atmospheric pressure that includes radicals, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, O<sub>3</sub>, ultraviolet radiation, charged particles, exited metastable atoms, electric fields. One of the major benefits of plasma-based technologies is the synergy between the strong effects of these highly active components that provides a high bactericidal efficiency at low costs,

Abstract:

Background: Most medical and surgical devices used in healthcare facilities are made of materials that are sterilized by heat (ie, heat stable), primarily steam sterilization. Low-temperature sterilization methods developed for heat and moisture sensitive devices include ethylene oxide gas (ETO), hydrogen peroxide gas plasma (HPGP), vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP), and hydrogen peroxide plus ozone. This study is the first to evaluate the microbicidal activity of the FDA-cleared VHP sterilizer and other methods (Table 1) in the presence of salt and serum (10% FCS). Methods: Brushed stainless

Abstract:

In this study, we conducted experiments to investigate the electrical and optical characteristics of a non-equilibrium Ar-N2 plasma discharge at atmospheric pressure. To obtain the plasma discharge we used our indigenously designed plasma generating device named CAPPLAT (Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Torch) which was manufactured by Cresur Corporation. The plasma discharge obtained with only Ar gas was quite filamentary. So, to achieve a homogeneous discharge N2 gas was admixed. The effects of different volumes of admixed N2 gas were also studied. The optical emission spectroscopy was used

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the AbTox Plazlyte Sterilization System against selected microbial species using inoculated carriers and surgical instruments. Setting: The microbiology laboratory of a 700-bed adult tertiary-care hospital. Design: The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, microorganisms were inoculated to various metal, paper, plastic, and glass carriers, as well as surgical equipment, and processed in cycle II of the AbTox sterilizer. Phase 2 compared AbTox cycle III with ethylene oxide sterilization using stainless steel washers, penicylinders, and su

Abstract:

Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasmas transform input electrical energy efficiently into reactive species, charged particles, and photons. This “activated gas” is being investigated as solutions for a range of environmental and health problems facing society today. In this Perspective, we take a cursory look at a few of these societal problems and the reflected role that plasmas may play in charting the pathway to a solution buoyed by supporting research. Here, we survey the plasma-based opportunities in the removal of trace contaminants in water supporting methodologies such as water reuse,

Abstract:

Conventional disinfection and sterilization methods are often ineffective with biofilms, which are ubiquitous, hard-to-destroy microbial communities embedded in a matrix mostly composed of exopolysaccharides. The use of gas-discharge plasmas represents an alternative method, since plasmas contain a mixture of charged particles, chemically reactive species and UV radiation, whose decontamination potential for free-living, planktonic micro-organisms is well established. In this study, biofilms were produced using Chromobacterium violaceum, a Gram-negative bacterium present in soil and water and

Abstract:

Non-thermal plasma is one of the new techniques that is being focused on in the medical world, one of which is used for sterilization because non-thermal plasma is known to have a bactericidal effect. Reactive species produced by non-thermal plasma are antimicrobial. One factor affecting plasma species' reactive composition is the gas source used. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of reactive species produced from non-thermal plasma generation of SDBD using different gas sources, namely free air, oxygen, and nitrogen, in treating Escherichia Coli bacteria.

Abstract:

In a circular economy, products, waste, and resources are kept in the system as long as possible. This review aims to highlight the importance of cold plasma technology as an alternative solution to some challenges in the food chain, such as the extensive energy demand and the hazardous chemicals used. Atmospheric cold plasma can provide a rich source of reactive gas species such as radicals, excited neutrals, ions, free electrons, and UV light that can be efficiently used for sterilization and decontamination, degrading toxins, and pesticides. Atmospheric cold plasma can also improve the util

Background: The development of endoluminal stents from polymeric materials requires an understanding of the basic mechanical properties of the polymer and the effects of manufacturing and sterilization on those properties. Methods: Pure poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and PLLA containing varying amounts of triethylcitrate (TEC) as a plasticizer (5-10-15%) were studied. The specimens were solution-cast and CO2 laser-cut. Specimen dimensions were adapted to the strut size of polymeric vascular stents. The properties of the PLLA micro-specimens were assessed before and after sterilization (EtO cold gas, H
