Solution Overview
Problem
Current non-thermal plasma technologies have limited clinical applications for inducing regenerative effects on living tissues in vivo, as existing methods primarily focus on surface treatments and lack mechanistic understanding of plasma interactions with deeper tissues.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a non-thermal plasma emitting source, a plasma modified field coupling mechanism with ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, piezoelectric, or piezomagnetic elements, and a controller to adjust these elements for generating a plasma modified field (PMF) that can be applied in various modes to induce therapeutic or regenerative effects on tissues and fluids.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If non-thermal plasma is used for surface treatment of tissues, then sterilization and surface modification are achieved, but regenerative effects on deeper tissues cannot be induced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines non-thermal plasma with coupling elements (ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, piezoelectric, or piezomagnetic) to create a hybrid system that generates both plasma and electromagnetic fields simultaneously, enabling deeper tissue penetration and regenerative effects while maintaining surface treatment capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses composite field structure combining plasma and electromagnetic fields, where the plasma beam interacts with coupling elements to produce a multi-component therapeutic field that can affect both surface and deep tissues
2Ease of manufacture
If plasma beam is directly applied to tissue, then surface sterilization is achieved, but controlled delivery to deeper tissues is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling elements act as intermediaries between the plasma beam and target tissues, mediating the energy transfer and enabling controlled delivery of therapeutic effects to specific depths and locations within tissues
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the interaction between plasma and coupling elements to control field penetration depth and intensity, allowing flexible delivery to different tissue depths as needed
3Productivity
If existing plasma systems are used, then surface effects are produced, but synergistic regenerative effects are not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges plasma with electromagnetic field generation through coupling elements to create synergistic effects that enhance both surface treatment efficiency and deep tissue regenerative capabilities simultaneously
