Abstract :
Summary form only given. Recently, there has been enormous progress in plasma medicine. New groups have joined this area of research. New plasma devices have been developed and tested for biomedical applications. The difference in plasma production methods and composition of input gases does not allow to directly compare plasmas produced by various devices and predict their effect on biological systems.
