Wound management

Hyperbaric care

The two fields of wound management and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) are closely related. Hyperbaric oxygen has been demonstrated to assist in healing conditions including non-healing diabetic wounds, soft-tissue or bone infections, and radiation tissue damage.

Our Wound Management & Hyperbaric Center treats patients who may be diagnosed with one of the following nine medical diagnoses, which are directly related to compromised wound healing:

  • Osteomyelitis (refractory)
  • Radiation tissue damage
  • Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias
  • Thermal burns
  • Skin grafts and flaps (compromised)
  • Enhancement of healing in select problem wounds
  • Intracranial abscess
  • Diabetic wounds of the lower extremities

Patients may access hyperbaric treatment by physician referral. Please call the Transfer Center at 800-541-1928.
