With a \u201cMade in Vietnam\u201d cold-plasma generator used alongside wound treatment, Dr. \u0110\u1ed7 Ho\u00e0ng T\u00f9ng and Nguy\u1ec5n Th\u1ebf Anh have made a new mark in Vietnamese healthcare.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ho\u00e0ng T\u00f9ng and Th\u1ebf Anh have known each other since grade 5. At upper secondary level, the two studied in the chemistry-specialist class at Lam S\u01a1n High School for the Gifted. At university, T\u00f9ng chose the Faculty of Physics at the University of Science, while Th\u1ebf Anh chose the Faculty of Chemistry at Hanoi National University of Education.<\/span><\/p>\n

After graduation, T\u00f9ng worked at the Institute of Physics, while Th\u1ebf Anh also signed a contract with the Institute of Chemistry under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Th\u1ebf Anh later completed his doctoral dissertation at the Institute of Chemistry, and Ho\u00e0ng T\u00f9ng pursued a doctorate abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

While T\u00f9ng studied for a doctorate in Germany, the two stayed in regular contact and discussed their work. Th\u1ebf Anh said that accessing research materials and scientific papers in Vietnam was difficult then, so he often asked T\u00f9ng to obtain reading materials for him<\/span><\/p>\n

Reuniting in 2011, T\u00f9ng excitedly told Th\u1ebf Anh about his dream of applying what he had learned in daily life and establishing plasma research as a field in Vietnam. Listening to T\u00f9ng's ideas, especially a plasma generator for medical treatment, Th\u1ebf Anh was immediately convinced. He decided to endure the hardships together with his friend entrepreneurship<\/a> at an age when one is no longer young.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking about his bold decision, Th\u1ebf Anh said it all stemmed from trust. The chances of success and failure were 50\u201350, but working with passion and walking his own path was very exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite their different personalities\u2014T\u00f9ng is lively, passionate, and dreamy, while Th\u1ebf Anh is calm, sharp, and practical\u2014these \u201copposites\u201d help the 2 work together more easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the early research and development days, the two friends faced many difficulties. With no supporting budget, they had to use everything available. \u201cAt first, the machine looked ugly, but with friends\u2019 help we could invest more and make it more attractive,\u201d Th\u1ebf Anh said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2015, the two PhDs, just past age 35, successfully built a cold plasma generator using Gliding Arc Plasma (GAP) technology. It was one of the world\u2019s first plasma generators based on this principle.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cold plasma generator uses the gliding-arc plasma principle and is a new treatment tool for wound healing, dermatology, and wound-surface cleaning and disinfection, with antibacterial effects including against drug-resistant bacteria. Its treatment technology helps reduce local pain, itching and discomfort and stimulates and accelerates wound healing through tissue regeneration, cell proliferation and blood-vessel formation.<\/span><\/p>\n

After testing and clinical trials at many major hospitals, Dr. T\u00f9ng\u2019s PlasmaMed device received a medical device circulation registration certificate from the Ministry of Health. Vietnam became one of the first countries in the world to successfully apply cold plasma technology to medical and cosmetic treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

T\u00f9ng and Th\u1ebf Anh have now established PlasmaMed. The product is used in nearly 20 hospitals nationwide. \u201cWe also have a version for small healthcare facilities, beauty salons or home use to treat simple wounds such as acne, rove beetle injuries, minor skin conditions and superficial burns\u2026 More than 20 clinics and aesthetic facilities, mainly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, have used this special version,\u201d Th\u1ebf Anh added.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the near future, PlasmaMed will continue to be upgraded to suit individual specialties such as dentistry, geriatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology\u2026 The two doctors have also set a goal of exporting the equipment within the region. They say the world has made remarkable progress in applying cold plasma in biomedicine, agriculture, and materials science. T\u00f9ng and Th\u1ebf Anh are therefore collaborating with many institutes, universities, and other companies to accelerate research into applications of this new technology.<\/span><\/p>\n
