What Does a Hyperbaric Chamber Do for Chronic Wound Treatment?

Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and radiation injuries, can be challenging to heal due to poor circulation and reduced tissue oxygenation. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an advanced treatment designed to promote healing in these difficult cases by providing 100% pure oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure within a specialized hyperbaric chamber.

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

During HBOT, the patient enters a sealed chamber where oxygen is delivered at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. This significantly boosts the body’s natural healing capabilities through several critical effects:

  • 🩸 Increases Oxygen Delivery:
    Pure, high-pressure oxygen dissolves directly into the bloodstream, reaching damaged tissues typically deprived of oxygen.
  • 🦠 Fights Infection:
    The oxygen-rich environment inhibits bacterial growth and strengthens the immune response, enabling the body to combat infections effectively.
  • 🌱 Stimulates New Blood Vessel Growth (Angiogenesis):
    HBOT promotes the formation of new blood vessels, essential for delivering vital nutrients and oxygen to recovering tissues.
  • 🛡️ Reduces Swelling & Inflammation:
    Increased oxygen levels aid in reducing inflammation, swelling, and discomfort, accelerating the healing process.

Who Can Benefit from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT is highly beneficial for individuals suffering from:

  • ✅ Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Reduces the risk of amputation by significantly improving wound healing.
  • ✅ Chronic Non-Healing Wounds: Ideal for wounds that have resisted standard treatment options.
  • ✅ Radiation Injuries: Assists in the healing and repair of tissues damaged by radiation therapy.
  • ✅ Infected Wounds & Osteomyelitis: Fights deep infections and facilitates tissue recovery.
