Hyperbaric Medicine & Wound Healing
What Is It? Why It Matters? Who’s Treated?
More than 8.2 million Americans will experience a non‑healing wound in their lifetime.
However, there is hope for patients suffering from diabetes, soft tissue radionecrosis, osteoradionecrosis, compromised skin grafts/skin flaps, acute peripheral arterial insufficiency, actinomycosis, necrotizing fasciitis, acute traumatic peripheral ischemia, various cancers and more - can find relief with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Treatments are non-invasive and can be administered in a matter of hours, by breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. By breathing in pressurized oxygen the patients blood is able to carry more oxygen to a wound site and help to expedite the healing process. Additionally, we are seeing a decrease in amputation rates for patients using hyperbarics to treat ulcers of the lower extremities.
