What is Non-thermal Plasma?

Non-thermal plasma is ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons, generated in earth atmospheric conditions (atmospheric pressures) at temperatures below 100° C (212° F).

Plaz4® Technology

Plaz4 is a novel, non-thermal plasma with advanced characteristics compared to ordinary cold plasmas. As a platform technology, Plaz4 has the potential to be utilized in a wide variety of human health applications. It has the potential to improve certain clinical outcomes, reduce costs and solve many currently unmet needs in healthcare.

The Revolutionary Solution for Health

Plasmology4’s first product is the Plaz4 1000 system, which has the potential to address both the worldwide problems of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and non-healing (chronic) wounds. Results from the company’s in vitro studies, and in vivo animal studies, demonstrate that Plaz4 simultaneously kills pathogens (including antibiotic-resistant strains) and heals wounds in a way that is drug-free, painless, fast and cost-effective.

The Plaz4 product has not yet been approved by the US FDA and is not currently for sale.

About the Company

Plasmology4 is a privately held, pre-revenue company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.

Plaz4 technology platform developed

First medical device product designed & developed

Anticipate FDA approval in 2026

46 patents issued, several patents pending, more in development

Intellectual Property

Plasmology4 has an extensive portfolio of 46 issued patents in the US and Europe with more applications pending. This solidifies our position as a leader in the field of non-thermal plasma and plasma medicine.

Designated as a “Breakthrough Technology” by the FDA!

Plasmology4’s first product has been granted into the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Breakthrough Devices Program for the treatment of “infected wounds, including multidrug refractory bacteria (such as MRSA)”.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur in the United States each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result. These illnesses lead to eight million extra days of hospitalization and over $20 billion in additional healthcare costs. Globally, the CDC estimates there are 700,000 deaths per year that are caused by antibiotic-resistant organisms. By the year 2050, annual deaths are predicted to reach 10 million, adding $100 trillion to healthcare costs. (source: CDC)
