WE LEAD IN HEALING CHRONIC WOUNDS

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Advertisement
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the administration of 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment. Diffusing oxygen throughout the body promotes angiogenesis, allowing a chronic wound to get the nutrient and oxygen rich blood it needs to heal. Specialized wound care, including HBOT, is often necessary for optimal treatment of chronic wounds. HBOT is an effective adjunctive therapy used in conjunction with advanced wound care. Along with proper attention to nutrition and other underlying medical problems, we achieve greater healing results. HBOT is a proven treatment for:
• Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis
• Lower Extremity Diabetic Ulcers
• Radiation Cystitis/Proctitis or Radiation Necrosis
