Winner Plasmacure
Bas Zeper, Founder & CEO of Plasmacure, showed in their inspiring pitch clip how the cold plasma product, PLASOMA, helps cure chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot wounds, pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers, using a cold plasma.
Koen van den Hurk, innovation manager at Health Valley, announced the winner on behalf of the jury, consisting of the Health Valley innovation managers: “PLASOMA truly is the example of how technology can make a difference for the patient. The healing of chronic wounds by means of cold plasma has not been applied in this way before. Eventually this is of huge added value for the patient and that’s why we nominated this solution,” said van den Hurk.
