The plasma thin layer is composed of a large number of charged particles, generates sufficient energy to break the molecular bonds of the target tissue cells, and quickly decomposes the tissue into low-molecular-weight molecules and atoms, thereby forming efficient ablation, vaporization, cutting, coagulation, and shrinking effects at a lower temperature.
