Cold plasma for healing cannula wounds in ECLS patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether cold atmospheric plasma—a gentle, gas-based treatment—can help heal wounds where tubes enter the body for life support. It might offer a new way to care for these delicate spots.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECLS or ECMO)
- You have a wound at the place where the tube goes into your body
- You do not have a serious skin condition in that area
- Your blood clotting is not severely impaired
- You are not receiving any other experimental wound treatments

This study tests whether a special cold plasma treatment (a type of energized gas) can safely help heal chronic wounds that haven't improved after several weeks. Cold plasma may help clean wounds and reduce bacteria, potentially speeding up healing.
This trial tests whether a cold plasma device can help heal chronic wounds like venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, or pressure ulcers. It looks at people whose wounds haven't improved with standard care.
This study tests whether applying cold atmospheric plasma (an ionized gas) during surgery can reduce wound complications in patients with poor blood flow to their legs. If you're having surgery to treat narrowed arteries in your groin area and have risk factors for wound healing problems, this trial may help prevent infections and other healing issues.
This trial tests whether a cold atmospheric plasma treatment can help heal certain slow-healing diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers better than standard wound care. Cold plasma is a gentle, non-thermal gas that may help wounds heal faster.
This study tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma treatment to standard care helps heal foot ulcers in people with diabetes who have recently had a procedure to open blocked leg arteries. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and more effective than current care alone.
This study tests whether plasma therapy—a treatment using liquid from your blood—can help various wounds heal better and faster. Wounds might be fresh injuries, chronic sores, surgical cuts, or grafted skin areas.
