Investing in a new device always raises the same question: how many patients need to be treated for it to pay for itself? With a technology as recent as cold plasma, it is difficult to get an idea without a benchmark. So we have done the calculation for you.

Discover the ViroCap RuckActual cost per patient, break-even point, profit once the device is paid off: here is the detailed simulation to help you visualize the ViroCap Ruck in your practice.
How much does a patient treated with cold plasma really cost?
The ViroCap Ruck comes ready to use, with its plasma module and charging base. The only consumable required for each session is the single-use tip.
The protocol recommended by Ruck includes 6 sessions spread over 6 weeks, with one tip per session. A single tip allows up to 10 applications of 2 minutes during a session: several nails can therefore be treated with a single tip.
| Pack of 12 tips | €130.90 |
| Tips required per protocol | 6 |
| Consumable cost per patient | €65.45 |
A pack of 12 tips therefore covers the complete protocol of 2 patients.
How many patients to pay off the ViroCap Ruck?
Let's take a package of €300 for the complete protocol of 6 sessions, i.e. €50 per session. Once the tips are deducted, each patient generates €234.55 gross profit.
With a ViroCap Ruck at €3,430, the device is paid off from the 15th patient.
The price remains free according to your practice and your clientele. Here is the break-even point according to the package you charge:
| 6-session package | Price per session | Profit per patient | Paid off by the… |
|---|---|---|---|
| €200 | ≈ €33 | €134.55 | 26th patient |
| €250 | ≈ €42 | €184.55 | 19th patient |
| €300 | €50 | €234.55 | 15th patient |
And once the device is paid off?
This is where the ViroCap Ruck becomes a real source of income for your practice: each new patient generates approximately €235 gross profit, device already paid off.
| Patients treated | Cumulative gross profit* |
|---|---|
| 15 patients | + €88 |
| 25 patients | + €2,434 |
| 50 patients | + €8,298 |

Visualize it: cold plasma in your practice
Imagine: a patient comes in with onychomycosis that has been dragging on for months. You offer them a treatment without pain, without medication, in 6 sessions of a few minutes, for €50 per session. An innovative service that few practices still offer in France.
How quickly will your ViroCap Ruck be paid off? It all depends on the number of new patients you refer to this treatment:
| New patients | Device paid off in |
|---|---|
| 1 every 2 weeks | ≈ 7 months |
| 1 per week | ≈ 3 and a half months |
| 2 per week | ≈ 2 months |
At a rate of one new patient per week, that represents approximately 100 patients over two years, i.e. more than €19,000 gross profit, including replacement of the plasma module.
To enhance the treatment, you can combine cold plasma with AntiMYX peclavus tincture, applied in the practice during the session: in the in vitro study conducted by Ruck, this combination gave better results than each solution used alone.
What this simulation does not take into account
This simulation is indicative: actual results depend on the price you charge and the number of patients you treat. It does not take into account:
- your time at the chair
- practice overheads, social security contributions and taxes (the amounts indicated are gross profit)
- the replacement of the plasma module, approximately every 2 years (€742.90), except in the two-year projection
