 We offer the latest and
most advanced wound
healing techniques
including hyperbaric
oxygen therapy |
Medical
studies have shown that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), combined with standard medical
and/or surgical care, can be an extremely effective treatment for various patient
conditions including problem wounds. Hyper (increased) baric (pressure) oxygen therapy
delivers 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure in a specially equipped medical
device called a Hyperbaric Chamber. This combination allows more oxygen to be dissolved in
the plasma and absorbed by the bodys tissues promoting healing and
dramatically improving treatment success in a variety of clinical situations. Perhaps the
most familiar use of HBOT is in the treatment of decompression illness and arterial gas
embolism. However, the bodys reactions to increased oxygen pressure are varied and
multiple. HBOT has been shown to:
- Increase plasma oxygen and oxygen diffusion distance
- Aid in peripheral vasoconstriction and reduce edema
- Inhibit the growth of anaerobic organisms
- Increase the killing ability of leukocytes
- Stimulate fibroblast growth to form collagen
- Induce neovascularization
