A
plasma applicator comprising an electrotechnical core for generating a cold
atmospheric pressure or low-pressure
plasma for the treatment of human and / or animal and / or technical surfaces, wherein the electrotechnical core has a side facing the surface to be treated and a side facing away from the surface to be treated and comprises the following
layers, arranged above one another, starting from the side facing the surface to be treated, a first
insulation layer, a first
electrode structure which is provided with a first contact for establishing electrical contact between the first
electrode structure and a
power supply unit and which is grounded during operation, a second
insulation layer, which is embodied to galvanically isolate the first
electrode structure and a second electrode structure from one another, a second electrode structure which is provided with a second contact for establishing electrical contact between the second electrode structure and a
power supply unit and which is driven during operation by a
voltage signal that is supplied by a
power supply unit and that is sufficient to ignite a
plasma, a third
insulation layer, which is embodied to galvanically isolate the second electrode structure and a third electrode structure from one another, and a third electrode structure which is provided with a third contact in order to ground the third electrode structure during operation, the plasma applicator further comprising an
enclosure, wherein the plasma applicator is affixed to a bag, said bag being configured to enclose a body or
body segment and to thus form a sealed gas space around the body or
body segment.
