Acute wounds include abrasions, blisters, burns, or post-surgical cuts. Acute wounds heal quickly with timely treatment. However, some wounds can become chronic due to delayed healing, local ischemia, or wound infections, especially complicated infections. In recent years, plasma therapy for wound healing has attracted much attention, leading to increased interest in medical devices that utilizes cold plasma at atmospheric pressure. Cold atmospheric plasma operates at temperatures similar to the human body, below 40&deg;C, and is effective in promoting wound healing by producing several active substances, such as electrons, ions, neutral ions, ultraviolet rays, heat, electric fields, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.</span></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><span style="color:#1f1f1f"></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><b><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Materials and Methods: </span></b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt"><span style="color:#1f1f1f">In this study, a single atmospheric pressure cold plasma jet was used.
