Abstract
Recently, cold pin-to-hole spark discharge (PHD) plasma was reported to be successfully applied for the treatment of a human patient with complicated ulcerous eyelid wounds. Such treatment was essentially salvatory for patient's life: PHD plasma was shown to have "healing" and bactericidal effects, while other conventional medical treatments did not have an effect. In order to understand which components of spark plasma (and associated mechanisms) caused the observed biological effects, the discharge characterization is required. This will also allow optimization of the discharge and possibly finding new medical applications.
