The use of a nonthermal plasma (NTP) jet in the treatment of living tissue has been the subject of considerable interest in the field of medical technology, and has the potential to reduce the recovery time of open wounds. We aimed to investigate the wound-healing process by clinical observation, blood tests, and expression of cell adhesion markers and reactive oxygen species in NTP jet-treated rats.
