Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)
Atrium Health Navicent Wound Care, a Facility of Atrium Health Navicent The Medical Center often uses hyperbaric oxygen
therapy (HBO), a medical treatment that enhances the
body's natural healing process. Patients enter a clear
pressurized chamber and breath 100% oxygen. By increasing
the oxygen levels in the blood and tissue, the body's ability
to promote new blood vessel grov4 and to fight infection is
significantly enhanced. This leads to faster healing so you
can get on with your daily life.
Types of wounds that benefit from HBO therapy..
- Diabetic ulcers of the lower legs
- Osteomyelitis (infection of the bone)
- Radiation injured tissue
- Atherosclerosis of the extremities with ulceration
- Gas gangrene
- Compromised flaps or grafts
- Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw
- Necrotizing soft tissue infections
