Application of plasma treatment machine in medical industry

1. Intravenous syringe

During the operation of the infusion needle at the end of the syringe, the needle seat and the syringe will separate when it is withdrawn. If separated, blood will flow out with the syringe. If not properly handled in time, it will cause serious harm to the patient. Plasma is a type of gas in an ionic state, which can effectively treat tiny holes. Using a plasma cleaning machine for surface activation treatment can improve the surface activity and increase the adhesion density between it and the syringe to ensure that the two are not easily separated.

2. Correct treatment of catheters

Catheters have brought benefits to patients who need indwelling catheters, and their application in clinical medicine has become more and more extensive. However, with the increase in their use, the difficulty of removing catheters has become more and more common. Especially for long-term indwelling catheters, sometimes the aging of the rubber will cause the airbag lumen to be blocked, and forced removal may cause serious sequelae. The results showed that the surface of the catheter after being properly treated with a plasma cleaner became smoother, the contact angle of the surface layer decreased from 84° to 67°, and no harmful groups were generated on the surface layer, proving that proper treatment with a plasma cleaner is an effective surface treatment method.

In addition, silicone rubber can be properly treated with a plasma cleaner to increase its surface activity, and then a layer of hydrophobic material that is not easy to age can be applied to the surface layer, which is also very effective.
