Abstract
Plasma cleaning is considered to be an accurate cleaning method for high-quality applications in medical production. Differences of low-pressure and atmospheric pressure plasma technologies were analyzed. The main purpose of low-pressure plasma cleaning is the removal of thin organic films from surfaces. The positive effect of plasma treatment on the structure of gas permeable contact lenses surface is described in the article. Plasma cleaning, however, is the most suitable process for achieving optimum surface cleanliness. The given data was obtained by practical means.
