Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an innovative treatment method effective in fighting certain types of infections. Patients breathe 100 percent oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, quickly delivering high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream and accelerating the healing process for wounds. This also stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, improves circulation, and helps prevent future  side effects.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is commonly used for: 

  • Chronic bone infections
  • Preparation and preservation of skin grafts and flaps
  • Diabetic wound of the lower extremity
  • Radiation damage to soft tissue and bone

Broward Health’s Wound Care and Hyperbaric  Centers have 46-inch Sigma Plus hyperbaric chambers, where patients can relax and watch television or a movie while receiving treatment. Hypoxic wounds usually require 30-40 hyperbaric treatments, and each treatment takes approximately two hours.
