General Information
Jett Plasma Medical is a low-power portable DC electrocauter. This medical device is
used for the treatment of skin, elimination of tiny capillary bleeding, removal of small warts
and elimination of couperosis, red veins, acne and pigment spots. It also helps with the
removal of scars and stretchmarks.
The aforementioned effects are achieved
with a help of “a spark” discharge generated
by DC voltage. This kind of discharge generates a heat that warms the skin and desirable
indications are treated. It is the DC fulguration (from Latin fulgur
–
lightning) that was first
used in 1982 at the ablation of AV knot. For many years, AC fulguration has been used in
high-frequency electrocauters to destroy various skin protuberances or warts. Generated
sparks in AC fulguration operate on a relatively big area of 1 cm
2
. Unlike this, Jett Plasma
Medical uses DC fulguration with the spark flow area of 1mm
2
, which is a great advantage
because of its accuracy in removal of undesirable skin protuberancces or warts without
damaging of the surrounding tissues.
Using a high breakdown voltage of about 5kV, which is between the tip of the device
and conductively connected (to the device) skin of a patient and maintaining the distance of
2mm between the tip and skin (this constant distance is provided by a specific applicator), a
spark discharge is generated with a corona at its side. To be able to generate the spark
discharge, the air (containing free electrons) must absorb a great amount of energy leading to
the breakdown of the air - it ceases to be an insulant and starts to conduct the electric current
–
the discharge is generated. The air is ionized and it becomes Plasma.
In case of any fulguration, a discharge is generated and that means that at any
discharge, the gas is ionized and therefore the Plasma is created. This condition is one of the
necessary ones, but it is not sufficient on its own.
Only a provably trained doctor who has read and understood all the instructions given
in this manual and who is acquainted with generally known dangers and benefits of the
stimulation of the treated place with Plasma discharge can operate Jett Plasma Lift.
Before using Jett Plasma Lift, it is necessary to read and understand all instructions
and safety precautions in this Manual and you are obliged to follow them. During the
treatment, make sure that you follow all safety instructions. Yu should also always be
acquainted with indications and contraindications of the Jett Plasma Lift Medical use.
