What is it about?

1- A non-thermal plasma needle was designed to operate at atmospheric Pressure. 2- The killing percentage depends on the plasma system operating conditions such as applied voltage on bacteria, gas flow and distance between tip needle and isolates bacteria, the perfect and partial killing percentage increase with the applied voltage increasing. 3- Increasing gas flow lead to increases the killing percentage in (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria, as gas molecules during increased flow velocity play a large role in increasing the killing percentage. 4- Increasing the voltages means an increase in the processed energy to non-thermal plasma needle, thus increasing these voltages leads to complete killing, there was a complete killing of bacteria at (8 kV).

Why is it important?

The development in the field of medical physics has led to the use of devices that are manufactured under normal conditions to make tremendous progress in the world of development in medical treatment by using these devices with modern techniques by reducing the use of antibiotics and relying on these tools and devices that link between physics and modern therapeutic medicine.
