Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are a new technology used to speed the healing of wounds. The chamber contains concentrated, specially pressurized oxygen. By lying in this designed chamber and breathing normally, the concentration of oxygen in the blood is increased. This makes more oxygen available to damaged body tissues, which helps the tissues repair themselves.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used for the treatment of difficult medical problems such as:
- Chronic problem wounds, including diabetic foot wounds
- Compromised grafts and flaps
- Radiation injury
- Chronic refractory Osteomyelitis
- Acute ischemias
- Necrotizing soft tissue infections
- Gas gangrene
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
