Wound Management Care

Your patient’s individualized treatment plan may include specialized wound dressings, debridement, compression therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, prescription growth factors, advanced cellular products, edema management and non-invasive vascular assessment.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) helps the body’s oxygendependent, wound-healing mechanisms function more efficiently. While enclosed in a clear, large chamber, patients breathe pure oxygen, saturating their blood plasma and allowing it to carry from 15 to 20 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body’s tissues. These treatments are provided by physicians who are specialty-trained in hyperbaric medicine as well as our highly trained clinical hyperbaric technicians and staff.

Approved Indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

  • Diabetic wound of the lower extremities
  • Soft tissue necrosis and osteoradionecrosis
  • Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
  • Compromised skin grafts and flaps
  • Actinomycosis
  • Crush injury/acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
  • Progressive necrotizing infections (necrotizing fasciitis)
