The Science

Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is a form of plasma generated at atmospheric pressure while remaining at or near room temperature. Plasma itself is often described as the fourth state of matter, alongside solids, liquids and gases.

Plasma is created when energy is added to a gas, producing a dynamic environment containing charged particles such as electrons and ions, along with other reactive components. Plasma occurs naturally in phenomena such as stars, lightning and the Northern Lights (aurora borealis). Unlike the extremely hot plasmas found in stars and lightning, CAP can be generated at temperatures suitable for use in everyday environments. 

What makes CAP particularly interesting is the unusual combination of physical and chemical properties created within this environment. These properties have led scientists to investigate CAP across a diverse range of fields, including food processing, agriculture, surface decontamination, water treatment and biomedical research. 

Research into Cold Atmospheric Plasma is an evolving field. Biomedical research has investigated CAP in areas including wound healing, dermatology, antibacterial and antimicrobial uses, dentistry and oral uses, haematology, cancer and regenerative medicine. 

Research involving CAP in particular biomedical applications does not establish that the Human Regenerator Jet provides those applications or produces the same outcomes.
