Gas discharge low-temperature air plasma can be utilized for a variety of applications, including biomedical, at low cost. We term these applications 'frugal plasma' - an example of frugal innovation. We demonstrate how simple, robust, low-cost frugal plasma devices can be used to safely disinfect instruments, surfaces, and water.
气体低温放电等离子体可应用于多种领域,包括生物医药,且成本低廉。我们将这些应用称为“节俭等离子体”,这是节俭创新的一个例子。我们展示了如何使用简单、可靠、低成本的节俭等离子体设备来安全地消毒器械、表面和水。
