Abstract :
Some physical principles are now used for blood coagulation. They may be separated into two classes: the first known use is based on high temperature generated by high frequency (>300kHz) electrical current and the other way is plasma generation in direct contact with living tissue. This paper elaborates on the model device for analysis of cold plasma impact on blood coagulation.Results show that e-plasma treatment selectively activate some of coagulation proteins.The authors believe that one of the process of blood coagulation may be presence of active species in plasma, such as ozone, atomic oxygen, H2O2, NO, and others. By now clinic trials of the device are carried out. Experiments are scheduled to start for testing the device with blood, taken from a donor with haemophilia disease, where natural process of coagulation is inhibited.
