Patent ID: 8005548

Claim:
A method for accelerating wound healing in an animal comprising: injecting helium gas onto an electrode comprising a plurality of electrode plates positioned in substantially parallel, spaced-apart fashion, a surface area of an upstream electrode plate greater than a surface area of a downstream electrode plate, the electrode plates supported by a support rod, the rod extending through each of the electrode plates and supporting a distance therebetween, the electrode for energizing the helium gas; supplying radio-frequency energy to the rod; channeling the energized helium gas through an orifice of a first toroidal magnet having a first alignment; channeling the energized helium gas emerging from the first magnet orifice onto an induction grid in frequency harmony with the electrode, the grid comprising: a central capacitance element; and a plurality of metal rods, each having an outer capacitance element affixed at opposed ends, the rods approximately symmetrically arrayed about the central capacitance element at increasing radial distances from an innermost rod to an outermost rod; supplying power to the central capacitance element and to the outermost rod to further energize the helium gas and create a multi-frequency cold plasma thereby; channeling the cold plasma through an orifice of a second toroidal magnet having a second alignment opposite the first alignment; and applying the cold plasma emerging from the second magnet to a wound in an animal to accelerate a healing thereof.
