Cold plasma – a new therapeutic option in wound treatment
Abstract: Cold plasma is a type of plasma containing various reactive compounds. It is produced at near-normal temperatures (<40°C) from gases using high-energy electrical or
electromagnetic discharges. Cold plasma is used in many clinical areas, including hemostasis, cancer treatment, and wound care. The Plasma Care® device presented in the article inactivates pathogens and promotes wound healing. It does not cause resistance, allergies, or side effects, is painless, and is non-invasive. It is easy to transport and simple and quick to use. The article presents results obtained in chronic, truly challenging wounds.
Keywords: cold atmospheric plasma, chronic wounds, complicated wounds, inactivation of bacteria, promotion of wound healing

Use of single-use negative pressure wound therapy (suNPWT) systems in chronic wound care
Abstract: Chronic wound care remains a challenging and difficult task to this day. Continuous
patient monitoring, learning, and professional experience are all essential to achieving
success in this field. Nowadays, wound care is increasingly limited to outpatient care. There is a wide range of modern dressings and wound care procedures available, everyone swears by their own experience and proven methods when it comes to chronic wound care. Among the innovative solutions, negative pressure wound therapy (su-NPWT) stands out and is gaining ground. Versions of this therapy that are available for outpatient care are available in both closed and open systems. Which one to use and when is still a matter of debate. The author of this article has attempted to provide some guidance to help colleagues who are new to the treatment by summarizing the scientific background and resolving contradictory information.

Journey through the microcosm
Abstract: One of the most significant health problems of our time is the infections acquired during various hospital treatments. Their treatment is a costly and laborious process, placing a great burden on both the care staff and the patient and their relatives. The greatest discovery of modern medicine has been the discovery of the source of these infections and the development of methods of combating them.
