Abstract
A device for generating and delivering Nitric Oxide (NO) to a treatment site includes a main unit, an applicator, a connector hose, and a mobile stand. The main unit provides power and a gas to the applicator via the connector hose. The applicator includes a plasma generator for generating NO in a plasma state. The main unit including a user interface to enable a user to control at least one operational aspect of the device. The applicator includes a pistol grip handle, a trigger for actuating the plasma generator, a hose connection for coupling to the connector hose, and a cowl portion for spacing a tip of the plasma generator at a predetermined distance from a treatment site. Sensors are provided with the applicator for sending feedback and monitoring application site temperature, proximity to the application, applicator motion and the like.
