Abstract
This chapter introduces the cold atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet kINPen® MED. This plasma source received approval as medical device class IIa from the supervisory boards in Germany. The plasma jet is generated by a DC power of maximum 8 VA (110/230 V, 50/60 Hz) using argon as working gas. The purpose of the device is the treatment of chronic wounds as well as pathogen-based diseases of skin, skin appandages, extremities and body. More details and contact information is available on the company website: www.neoplas-tools.eu.
