Wound care
Wound care involves medical interventions to heal a wound after injury. Specialized treatment is provided for wounds that are nonhealing or refuse to heal on their own. A vital aspect of treatment includes learning how to properly dress and care for a wound.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wounds and vascular disease
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a noninvasive procedure during which the patient breathes 100 percent oxygen while fully enclosed in a specially designed chamber at increased atmospheric pressure.
With an oxygen-rich environment, the body's natural wound-healing mechanisms are able to function more effectively, drastically speeding up the healing process of chronic wounds.
Benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Our hyperbaric oxygen chambers use the latest technology and include a patient-friendly pressurization alternative to minimize complications from middle ear and sinus barotraumas (injuries caused by increased air or water pressure) without increasing compression time. This therapy also allows:
- An increase in oxygen concentration in all body tissues
- Growth of new blood vessels to locations with decreased circulation
- Treatment of new infections
