How Does HBOT Help With Wound Healing?

Pressure + Oxygen

At MEDx, we run our Hyperbaric Treatments at 1.4 ATA, while you breathe close to 100% oxygen through a mask.

The increased pressure allows around 800% more oxygen to dissolve into your bloodstream than you would currently be getting by breathing normally.

Hence, delivering a super-saturated supply to the injured tissues, which are often oxygen-deprived.

= More Good Stuff

As long as the prescribed treatment plan is followed, this:

  • Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (Angiogenesis), improving circulation and nutrient delivery to the wound site.

  • Regulates Inflammation, which is crucial in chronic wounds.

  • Strengthens the immune response, which enables the body to better fight off infection.

  • Promotes the production of collagen, the protein essential for tissue repair and strength.

  • And more.

The combination of these makes the healing process go much faster. This is especially beneficial for wounds that are chronic/ non-healing. And it significantly reduces the risk of amputation.

If you have a wound that needs help healing, book a consultation and we’ll get in touch to discuss how we can help you.
