Ruptured Achilles tendon shows faster repair amid plasma irradiation treatment - EurekAlert


<p>Osaka Metropolitan University-led researchers have been focusing on non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma as a treatment method that can shorten recovery times, such as for tendon repair. Using a helium plasma jet, they demonstrated that irradiation of ruptured Achilles tendons showed accelerated regeneration and increased strength at an earlier stage than if the injury site was not irradiated.</p>
