Summary

• HbOT is a safe and effective way to treat wounds that are taking a long time to heal.
• Researchers say that HbOT for Wounds should be looked into as a possible treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.
• HbOT can help fight infections by boosting the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues.
• HbOT was found to be beneficial in lowering inflammation in patients with acute soft tissue injuries in a study published in the journal Advances in Therapy.
• We do not recommend Hyperbaric oxygen Therapy as a replacement for conventional treatments, if you are unsure please consult your doctor.

Can HbOT help with wound healing?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen while in a pressurised chamber. Our clinic specializes in HBOT for Wounds, offering a safe and proven approach to wound care. Chronic conditions like diabetes, vascular issues, and infections can impede wound healing, but HBOT for Wounds brings hope to those seeking effective treatment.

HBOT for Wounds promotes healing by increasing the quantity of oxygen given to the tissues. HBOT dramatically enhanced wound healing in patients with chronic nonhealing wounds, according to a study published in the journal Advances in Skin & Wound Care. The trial included 28 patients who received 30 HBOT sessions over the course of 6 weeks. The researchers discovered that all patients’ wounds improved significantly, with an average 90% reduction in wound size.

In another study published in the Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing, HBOT was also found to be effective in treating diabetic foot ulcers.In the study, 18 people with ulcers got HBOT, and the researchers found that all of the ulcers got better, and the wounds got smaller on average by 73%. Researchers say that HBOT should be looked into as a possible treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.

HBOT can also help to avoid the development of wound infection. Bacteria can flourish and diseases can emerge when tissues lack oxygen. HBOT can help fight infections by boosting the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues. HBOT was found to be useful in preventing infection in patients with crush injuries in a study published in the journal Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine. The study comprised 34 individuals who had HBOT for Wounds, and none of them became infected.

HBOT for Wounds can reduce inflammation in addition to improving wound healing and preventing infection. Inflammation is a normal reaction to injury, but when it becomes chronic, it can slow healing and cause further damage. HBOT can aid in the healing process by lowering inflammation. HBOT was found to be beneficial in lowering inflammation in patients with acute soft tissue injuries in a study published in the journal Advances in Therapy. The study comprised 20 patients who had HBOT, and the researchers discovered that inflammation levels were dramatically lowered after therapy.

HBOT is a safe and effective way to treat wounds that are taking a long time to heal. It can help with wound healing, infection prevention, and inflammation reduction. If you or a loved one is suffering from a non-healing wound or a diabetic foot ulcer, HBOT may be an effective therapeutic choice.
