Design and Validation of a Portable Volume DBD Plasma Device with Integrated Plasma Endpoint Detection
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are among the most established plasma generation techniques and have been widely adapted into surface, volume, and jet-based geometries to produce cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) [1]. In plasma medicine, CAP has demonstrated significant promise for wound healing, decontamination, and cancer therapy [2]. However, most clinically tested or research-grade systems remain bulky, rely on external power supplies, and lack portability, limiting their suitability for point-of-care and field-based applications [3]. Moreover, many existing portable plasma devices are based on surface DBD (SDBD) architectures, which, while compact, often offer limited control over plasma-tissue interaction depth and delivered dose, or cannot operate for long periods of time [4].
