DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TREATING BIOLOGICAL TISSUE WITH A LOW-PRESSURE PLASMA
The invention relates to a device for treating biological tissue (G) with a low-pressure plasma, said device comprising a) a transformer (1) for generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field, b) a probe (2) which can be electrically coupled to the transformer (1) and c) a control unit (3) for controlling the high-frequency electromagnetic field generated by the transformer (1). According to the invention, an information unit is associated with the probe (2), said unit being used to: e) measure and display both optically and/or acoustically the duration of the power output by the device to the tissue (G); and/or f) measure the current strength or the power output by the device to the tissue (G) and if a predefined limit value is exceeded, to interrupt the supply of energy to the device; and/or g) measure and display both optically and/or acoustically the distance of a treatment surface of the probe (2) from the tissue (G) to be treated.
