Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
This proven technology has been utilized in the United States for over thirty years. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is defined as a treatment modality that exposes a patient to 100 percent oxygen at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.
As an adjunct to the current 95 percent wound healing rate at the Center for Wound Healing, this new technology increases oxygen levels stimulating the formation of new capillaries on poorly perfused wound, providing a highly useful adjunctive treatment modality for the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds and certain infectious process.
