N2 - A simple technique is tested to improve the contractile effect of a cold plasma jet on acute wounds of mice. Distilled water on the order of microliters is dropped onto wounds before treatment. To assess the fate of the water, an infrared thermal imager is applied. To evaluate the healing effect, macroscopic and immunohistological studies are conducted. Regarding the wound contractile effect, we show that combination treatment of plasma with dropped water seemed to have a greater effect than plasma treatment alone. Plasma may modify the wound surface through such water, chemically and physically. The histological stiffness of the wound surface during maturation and remodeling, however, may also influence the fate of the water during treatment.
