How PetCellpen® works in practice
A 3-minute introduction to the technology, the device and its application across the most common indications.
What is Cold
Atmospheric Plasma (CAP)?
Plasma is the fourth state of matter after solid, liquid and gas – an ionised gas where electrons and ions circulate freely. Generated below 40°C, Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is a non-invasive, drug-free therapeutic option used for wound healing, antimicrobial action, and supporting muscle and nerve repair.
Drug-free
Non-invasive
Antimicrobial
Therapeutic Uses
From chronic dermatology cases to post-surgical rehabilitation, PetCellpen® delivers measurable results across dogs, cats and exotic species, often where conventional protocols have failed.
Wound management and healing
- Abrasions
- Bites
- Burns
- Pressure ulcers
- Scars and keloids
- Healing by secondary intention
- Ulcerated tumors
- Non-healing wounds
Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular
- Muscle tension and spasms
- Myofascial pain
- Arthritis, tendinitis
- Spondylosis
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Limber tail syndrome
- Myositis
- Neuropathic pain
Therapeutic Effects
Tissue penetration
PetCellpen® generates a plasma current that is directed on the skin surface with the help of the electrodes, effective down to the basal layer of the skin and the adjacent tissue.
Direct cell activation
CAP directly stimulates the body’s cells and changes their behaviour. Healing processes are promoted through increased cell proliferation, inflammation is reduced by influencing the formation of cellular mediators, and the immune system is boosted. Tissue remodelling is improved.
Debridement effect
Damaged cells are eliminated earlier with the help of macrophages because their DNA is more sensitive to the effects of CAP, thus favouring the development of granulation tissue and healing.
Broad antimicrobial spectrum
Reactive species (ROS, RNS) have an antimicrobial, resistance-free effect, and is therefore effective against MRSA bacteria and biofilms. It also has a fungicidal effect, antiviral and parasiticidal effect.
Promotes angiogenesis
CAP has an immediate and lasting hyperaemic effect on the treated tissue. The formation of new blood vessels is also stimulated. This improves the metabolism and accelerates healing.
Electrotherapy
The electromagnetic signals release muscle blocks, inhibit pain, help recovery and stimulation after nerve damage and prevent denervation of associated muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions is PetCellpen® best suited for?
PetCellpen is used for wound management, dermatological conditions, muscle and tendon support, burns, hotspots, otitis externa, and infected or slow-healing wounds.
How does cold plasma therapy support healing and infection management?
PetCellpen generates cold atmospheric plasma, which produces (amongst other things) reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. These help reduce microbial load, support circulation, encourage tissue regeneration, and assist the body’s natural healing response.
How is PetCellpen® applied during a veterinary treatment session?
The device is applied in contact (or very near contact) to the affected area using specific electrode attachments selected for the treatment type. Treatment duration and intensity vary depending on the condition being treated, the tissue involved, and the size of the treatment area.
When should PetCellpen® be incorporated into a treatment plan?
Veterinary professionals can use Petcellpen as part of their wound care management, post operative procedures, dermatological treatment plans, or rehabilitation protocols.
Can PetCellpen® be used alongside antibiotics, topical therapies, or wound dressings?
Yes. PetCellpen can be used on its own or may be incorporated alongside antibiotics, antiseptics, topical products, and standard wound management approaches as directed by the veterinary professional.
