Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps the body’s wound healing mechanisms function more efficiently. While enclosed in a hyperbaric chamber, patients breathe pure oxygen. This results in saturating the patient’s blood plasma and allows it to carry 15 to 20 times the normal amount of healing oxygen throughout the body.
Care for Diabetics
Diabetics tend to experience non-healing wounds, also known as diabetic ulcers, on their feet, heal or toes. In order to prevent complications from wounds that have not started healing in 2 weeks or completed healing in 6 weeks, you should consult your physician whether wound care at the Wound Care Center is necessary. The medical professionals at the Wound Care Center can help to prevent serious complications associated with non-healing wounds.
