Abstract
A system including an internal cold plasma system, including an internal cold plasma applicator configured to couple to a surface surrounding a cavity and to produce a cold plasma between the internal cold plasma applicator and the surface.
Claims20
An internal cold plasma system comprising:
- an applicator configured to be disposed within a cavity of a patient and to produce a cold plasma only between an outer surface of the applicator and a surface of the patient, wherein the applicator is configured to be navigated through an anatomical passage of the patient into the cavity of the patient,
- wherein the applicator comprises a flexible conduit configured to enable the applicator to conform to different cavities of different patients,
- wherein the flexible conduit has a first passage extending between a first end and a second end, wherein the first passage contains a conductive fluid, wherein the flexible conduit is defined by a wall made of a dielectric material, and wherein the dielectric material is configured to enable an electrical signal to build charge inside the flexible conduit,
- wherein the applicator further comprises a second conduit having a second passage, wherein the second passage is configured to function as a dielectric by carrying additional dielectric material or being empty, and
- wherein the applicator further comprises a plurality of apertures arranged about a circumference of the outer surface of the applicator, wherein each aperture of the plurality of apertures is in communication with the second passage.
