Summary form only given. The high probability of contracting an infection from an untreated wound demonstrates the need for alternative sources of wound healing and sterilization. Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of non thermal floating electrode dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD) to fully sterilize uniform surfaces containing various concentrations of bacteria. However, non-uniform surfaces have shown significantly less sterilization and require further experimentation.
