Hyperbaric Medicine for Wound Care: Healing Beyond the Surface
At OxygenWell, we specialize in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for wound care, offering advanced healing solutions for complex and chronic conditions. With licensed physician assistants on staff, we are committed to providing top-tier medical care and personalized treatment plans for each of our patients. Our state-of-the-art facility meets the highest medical-grade standards, using 100% medical-grade oxygen in our hyperbaric chambers—ensuring that every session delivers the maximum therapeutic benefits.
Many hyperbaric therapy centers rely on oxygen concentrators, which output lower oxygen levels and don’t offer the same medical-grade treatment. At OxygenWell, we pride ourselves on using FDA-approved hyperbaric chambers that deliver 100% oxygen at higher pressures, allowing us to provide the most effective healing environment possible. We are in-network with many insurance companies due to our commitment to medical excellence and our strict adherence to these high standards.
Our hyperbaric therapy is FDA-approved to treat the following conditions:
1. Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Diabetic foot ulcers are slow-healing wounds that can lead to complications such as infection and even amputation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes tissue oxygenation, encouraging wound healing, preventing infection, and significantly reducing the risk of more severe outcomes.
2. Radiation Cystitis and Other Radiation-Induced Injuries
Radiation treatments can cause lasting damage to healthy tissues, leading to conditions like radiation cystitis and soft tissue injuries. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by promoting the repair of radiation-damaged tissues, improving blood vessel formation, and reducing inflammation to accelerate recovery.
3. Osteomyelitis (Chronic Bone Infections)
For patients with persistent bone infections, HBOT offers a powerful treatment option. By increasing the concentration of oxygen in affected bone tissues, hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances the body’s ability to fight infection and promotes faster, more effective healing.
4. Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps
Patients undergoing skin grafts or flap surgery can face risks of tissue necrosis due to poor circulation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy stimulates blood flow and enhances the survival rate of skin grafts and flaps, making it an essential treatment for patients in need of post-surgical recovery.
5. Crush Injuries
In the event of crush injuries, where tissue damage and swelling occur, hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and enhances tissue repair, preventing further complications such as infection or necrosis.
6. Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis
Chronic bone infections that do not respond to conventional treatments can be addressed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. By delivering high levels of oxygen to the affected areas, HBOT enhances immune function and supports bone healing, providing relief for long-term sufferers.
7. Soft Tissue Infections
Soft tissue infections, especially those that are resistant to antibiotics, benefit greatly from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. HBOT helps fight infection by delivering oxygen to deprived tissues, improving the immune response, and promoting faster healing.
