How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps in painless wound healing?
 

In a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, a person is subjected to inhale nearly 100% oxygen at 2 to 3 times the atmospheric pressure for a period of 90 minutes. During this time, more oxygen gets dissolved in the blood and even little supply of blood to the injured area will be good enough for regeneration of blood vessels (angiogenesis) and promote healing.

 

As new blood vessels are made by the body, more blood supply is made possible to the affected area after each session. This turns into a cycle. As more blood that is super rich in oxygen is supplied, the faster the wound heals. HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) in combination with conventional antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines further help boost the wound healing process, reducing the chances of amputation to a very great extent.

​

Did you know that the life span of most of the people who got their limb(s) amputated due to diabetic wounds or ulcers have only 5 years left to live? This should not surprise you because, a smaller wound led to amputation and how about healing a larger wound that is surgically made?

 

HBOT comes to the rescue of many people who are suffering from foot sores and wounds by treating diabetic foot ulcers (leg ulcers) and other diabetic wounds in a matter of weeks along with conventional medicines.
