As a student, you learned the 3 states of matter are solid, liquid and gas, but now you know there’s a fourth: plasma.  The characteristics of plasma are different enough from gas to qualify as another state of matter: it has approximately equal numbers of positively and negatively charged ions.  It’s been estimated that 99% of the universe’s matter is plasma.  Plasma temperatures range from hot to cold, with "hot" having temperatures like that of the sun or a lightning bolt and "cold" having temperatures in the range of fluorescent lights and neon signs.

Bovie Medical’s CEO, Rob Gershon, had the privilege of being interviewed for It's Your Health Network Radio. The interview reached over 1,000,000 listeners.  In this interview, Gershon tells us about the benefits of the J-Plasma® surgical tool.  With advanced technology, science and the chemical element Helium, the J-Plasma® tool is able to produce a relatively cool thermal temperature.  For Surgeons and Patients alike, this brings benefits.

Current instrumentation with traditional electrosurgery can involve some risk due to trying to control the energy spread.  Staying away from vital organs like the bladder, bowel and ureter is necessary to decrease the risk of damage to these vital organs.  There is a need for a versatile surgical instrumentation with the approach of precise control for safe and effective treatment in laparoscopic surgeries.

Cold plasma, sometimes called non-thermal plasma, is one of the newest cutting edge medical concepts, but what is it?  Plasma is not a thing.  A table is a thing – it has substance and you can put your hands on it.  Plasma is a fundamental state of matter, explains FusEDWeb.  Along with liquids, solids and gases, it is one of four states of matter that exist in the universe.

Plasma, the high-energy process that strips atoms of their electrons produces ionized gas, which flows at a temperature that can exceed 100,000 degrees Celsius.  Although it’s commonly referred to as the fourth state of matter after solids, liquids and gases, in actuality, hot plasma represents the first state of matter because it makes up 99 percent of the visible universe in terms of both mass and volume and probably the majority of the invisible universe.
