The treatment of chronic wounds remains a serious medical and social problem. There are many innovative therapeutic approaches for the treatment of chronic wounds, one of which is cold plasma therapy. This case report describes an 85-year-old patient who presented with a chronic wound on his lower right leg. Despite repeated surgical wound debridements, his wound did not improve. Therefore, the authors initiated cold plasma therapy for his chronic wound. Through repeated application of cold plasma, the wound was completely healed within 8 weeks. As a noninvasive procedure, the cold plasma treatment was well tolerated and had no adverse effects. This case report provides promising results and could be the basis for further studies to confirm the effectiveness of active wound dressings with cold plasma in the treatment of chronic wounds.
慢性伤口的治疗仍然是一个严重的医学和社会问题。目前有许多创新性的治疗方法可用于慢性伤口的治疗，其中之一是冷等离子体疗法。本病例报告描述了一位 85 岁的患者，他的右下腿有一处慢性伤口。尽管反复进行手术清创，他的伤口仍未愈合。因此，作者对他的慢性伤口采用了冷等离子体疗法。通过反复应用冷等离子体，伤口在 8 周内完全愈合。作为一种非侵入性的治疗方法，冷等离子体治疗的耐受性良好，没有不良反应。本病例报告提供了有前景的结果，并可能为进一步研究提供依据，以证实冷等离子体活性创面敷料在慢性伤口治疗中的有效性。
