A honey solution 1% in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) 20µL was dropped into micro-well dressing that is attached on an acute wound before a 2-minute cold plasma treatment. An inclined treatment style plasma jet with a 45° gradient was used. An infrared thermal camera was used to monitor the fate of the solution. To evaluate its effect, macroscopic evaluation and general staining were conducted. It was revealed that a combination of that honey and plasma treatment may not be efficacious. However, the related procedure functionalising micro-well dressing may provide a new insight in how to combine plasma jets and other solutions in animal or human models for skin-oriented treatment.
