Abstract
The present invention refers to an atmospheric pressure plasma jet device for disinfecting and coating a dental implant. The device comprises a gas supply and a nozzle for providing a gas to a tip of the nozzle wherein the nozzle is a single electrode nozzle having a first electrode. The device comprises further a precursor supply for providing a coating precursor to the nozzle, a second electrode and a connector for electronically connecting the second electrode with the dental implant. In another aspect the present invention refers to a system for disinfecting and coating.
Claims17
An atmospheric pressure plasma jet device for disinfecting and coating a dental implant comprising
- a gas supply and a nozzle for providing a gas to a tip of the nozzle wherein the nozzle is of a single-electrode type having a first electrode with an exposed end portion disposed within the nozzle,
- a precursor supply for providing a coating precursor to the nozzle,
- a second electrode and a connector for electronically connecting the second electrode with the dental implant for the dental implant to serve as counter electrode for the generation of plasma, such that the plasma is generated by an electric field between the exposed end portion of the first electrode and the counter electrode, and that the plasma is a directed plasma jet towards the implant.
