Animal Treatment
Revolutionizing Veterinary Care
Cold Atmospheric Plasma – Vetarinary (CAP-Vet)
Introducing Pacem Cold Plasma for animals, a cutting-edge Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) therapy specifically designed for effective and non-invasive treatment of wounds and inflammatory conditions in pets and livestock. Developed by Pacem Technology, our CAP-Vet device utilizes advanced plasma technology to accelerate wound healing, manage various skin disorders, and offer powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits without causing pain or stress to animals. This innovative solution revolutionizes veterinary medicine by providing a safe, rapid, and drug-free alternative for comprehensive animal wound management.
How it works:
Pacem CAP-Vet devices generate cold atmospheric plasma, an electrically conductive medium comprised of ionized gases. This plasma operates at low temperatures (typically around room temperature, not exceeding 40∘C), which is crucial for preventing thermal damage to living tissues. The key to CAP‘s effectiveness lies in the generation of “reactive species” (reactive molecules, ions, and free electrons) which are the primary active components of the plasma.
Technical Aspects
- Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Plasma System:
Our devices utilize DBD technology to produce stable, low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure, ensuring safe and direct application to animal tissues. - Non-Thermal Application:
The plasma’s low temperature (28-35°C) ensures that it does not cause tissue damage, making it safe for delicate and sensitive wounds on animals. - Versatile Gas Output:
The device can utilize air, argon, helium, or hydrogen as output gases for plasma generation. - Precise Application:
The system allows for targeted treatment, directing the plasma’s therapeutic effects specifically to the affected area.
Medical Aspects & Mechanism of Action
- Antimicrobial Effect:
Cold plasma effectively inactivates and kills bacteria (including multi-drug resistant strains like MRSA), fungi and viruses by destroying their cell macromolecules and DNA. This helps prevent and combat infections that often impede wound healing in animals. - Anti-inflammatory Effect:
CAP significantly reduces inflammation, which is beneficial for wounds and skin disorders caused by allergies or chronic conditions. - Accelerates Wound Healing:
Reactive species stimulate cell division, cell metabolism and blood flow (through micro-angiogenesis), promoting rapid cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. This leads to faster recovery times. - Pain Reduction:
CAP has demonstrated analgesic properties, contributing to a more comfortable and pain-free treatment experience for animals. - No Antibiotic Resistance:
Due to its physical mechanism of action, CAP does not lead to the development of bacterial resistance and offering a powerful tool for infection control without relying on antibiotics. - Enhances Skin Barrier Function:
CAP can promote overall skin health and aid in treating various dermatological conditions by stimulating skin barrier function and collagen production.
Clinical Applications & Benefits in Veterinary Medicine
Cold Atmospheric Plasma – Vetarinary (CAP-Vet) technology shows promising results across various animal health applications, offering a non-invasive, safe and effective solution for numerous conditions.
Key Application Areas:
- Wound Healing:
Accelerates the healing of acute and chronic wounds, cuts, abrasions, and surgical incisions in pets and livestock. Promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation. - Antimicrobial and Infection Control:
Effectively kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, including antibiotic-resistant pathogens like MRSA, on animal skin, surfaces and tools. Ideal for disinfecting wounds, sterilizing animal shelters, equipment and veterinary tools. - Skin Disorders:
Manages conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, pruritus (itching) and other inflammatory skin disorders by reducing inflammation and eliminating harmful microorganisms. Also promotes hair regrowth in affected areas. - Dental Hygiene:
Improves oral health by killing bacteria that cause bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay and by reducing gum inflammation (gingivitis). Offers a non-invasive and stress-free method for pet oral hygiene. - Cancer Therapy:
Research explores CAP’s potential in treating certain types of cancer in pets, as it can selectively target cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. - Reduction of Parasites:
Can reduce external parasites like mites and ticks by creating an unfavorable environment. Helps prevent secondary infections caused by parasites. - Hygiene in Animal Husbandry:
Enhances hygiene standards in livestock farming by disinfecting barns, pens, feeding equipment, water supplies and reducing microbial contamination in milk production equipment. - Disease Prevention in Livestock:
Reduces the spread of infectious diseases by sterilizing environments and treating infected animals. Examples include reducing mastitis in dairy cows and treating respiratory infections. - Improved Reproductive Health:
Explored for treating reproductive tract infections in livestock, improving fertility and reducing complications. - Stress-Free Veterinary Treatment:
Painless, non-invasive treatments require minimal restraint, making them ideal for nervous or aggressive animals.
