Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Area of ulcer. Timepoint: After selecting a patient for up to 3 weeks in each visit (one day in between), the size of the patient's wound is measured. Method of measurement: take a photo with ruler and analysis it.;Microbial colony count. Timepoint: Up to 3 weeks after the patient's choice, once a week, a microbial culture of the wound secretions is performed. Method of measurement: with standard method swap.;Cytokines and growth factors. Timepoint: at the first and end of third week. Method of measurement: 128/5000Samples from ulcerous secretions are taken with pasteurized sterile pipettes and then by ELISA, cytokines and growth factors are measured.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Side effects of cold plasma radiation on the patient. Timepoint: During and after radiation of the plasma. Method of measurement: Ask the patient about possible symptoms and see the wound's position.
