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 treatment can help heal chronic wounds faster when standard treatments haven't worked. Cold plasma is a gentle gas-based therapy that may promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.
This trial tests a new 'cold plasma' treatment (a gentle electrical gas) for diabetic foot or leg ulcers that have stopped healing. It aims to see if this therapy helps wounds heal better than standard wound care alone.
This trial tests a special cold plasma treatment applied during surgery in the groin to see if it helps reduce wound healing problems after surgery for blocked leg arteries. It may benefit people at higher risk for wound complications.
This study tests a special plasma treatment (a part of your blood that may help healing) for many types of wounds. It aims to see if this treatment helps wounds close faster and better than standard care.
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.
