Your Physician is part of the wound-healing team -

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy -
To help in your healing, you may be referred for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. This is a simple but effective treatment for chronic and non-healing wounds. You will breathe pure oxygen in a comfortable, pressurized chamber. The hyperbaric chamber is made from clear acrylic plastic, that allows a three-hundred sixty degree view of the outside environment. You will be able to rest, or watch television during your treatment. This therapy allows high concentrations of oxygen to be delivered into your bloodstream. When pressurized, your blood is able to increase the ability to deliver oxygen to your wound and promote faster healing.
