Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Effective Treatment for Wounds

Wound care hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a specialized treatment that can be highly effective for promoting the healing of certain types of wounds. The premise behind this therapy is that by exposing the affected area to pure, pressurized oxygen, the body's natural healing processes can be significantly accelerated. During a hyperbaric oxygen treatment session, the patient is placed inside a specialized chamber that is filled with up to 95% oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. This increased oxygen concentration and pressure facilitates the absorption of far more oxygen into the bloodstream, tissues, and wound site compared to normal breathing.

How It Works

During a session, the patient is placed inside a chamber filled with up to 95% oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. This increased oxygenation:

Reduces inflammation
Fights infection
Stimulates growth of new blood vessels and skin cells

Benefits

Enhanced oxygen delivery helps heal slow-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, radiation injuries, and severe burns.
Multiple sessions can accelerate healing and restore tissue integrity.
For patients dealing with chronic or difficult-to-heal wounds, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be a game-changer in restoring tissue integrity and getting them back on the path to full recovery.
