Redefining the
pillars of
wound care.
Aceso Plasma is a handheld, portable device that converts ambient air into oxygen plasma — delivering broad-spectrum disinfection and accelerated healing without chemicals, heat, or the risk of antibiotic resistance.

Wound care is broken.
We built a better solution.
Current wound care approaches leave critical gaps — in the clinic, in the operating room, and on the battlefield. Aceso Plasma addresses them all in a single, portable device.
The problems today
Slow healing times. Current treatments fail to accelerate recovery for trauma, burns, and chronic wounds.
Antibiotic resistance. Traditional approaches struggle against drug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens — a growing global crisis.
Chemical disinfectants damage healthy cells. Many standard agents kill bacteria but also impede healing and harm host tissue.
No portable field solution. Existing wound care and decontamination tools are not adapted for austere, mobile, or combat environments.
The Aceso solution
Accelerated healing. By helping control microbial burden, Aceso supports the body's natural healing processes and may promote progression through the normal stages of wound healing — with investigational studies observing approximately 50% reduction in healing time compared to untreated controls.
Resistance-free by design. The ROS oxidation mechanism targets all microbial proteins simultaneously — no resistance pathway can develop.
Favorable safety profile in investigational studies. Device-generated plasma operates in a localized, transient manner — investigational studies did not observe adverse effects on healthy tissue at the treatment durations tested, though further characterization is ongoing. Based on FDA guidelines for thermal injury, the device does not cause irreversible thermal injury when used as directed.
Built for the field. Powered by AC or DC, requires no gas tanks, and operates in any environment — clinical or austere.
Built for clinicians,
military, and partners.
Aceso Plasma addresses critical unmet needs across three distinct communities — each with a compelling case for why this technology matters now.
For clinicians
A new standard for wound care
Cold plasma technology validated at Wake Forest and MedStar Georgetown — effective against antibiotic-resistant ESKAPE pathogens, with no negative impact on healthy tissue. Currently entering FDA clinical trials for chronic wounds.
