Treating wounds with HBOT
Oxygen and hyperbaric chambers are used to aid in the wound-healing process, helping serious and non-healing wounds mend better and faster with less scarring. Our hyperbaric medicine center is the only one of its kind between Davis County and Logan, Utah.
Our center features five single-person chambers that are spacious to ensure patient comfort. Additionally, the hospital's highly trained staff delivers an integrated team approach to healing. This includes an expert evaluation and a personalized care plan for every patient who receives sessions in the oxygen chambers.
How HBOT works
One of the reasons that a wound may not heal is because of inadequate oxygen supply. When a wound does not receive the appropriate amount of oxygen, the cells are not able to regenerate quickly enough, which also increases the risk of infection. HBOT involves the delivery of pure oxygen into the pressurized chambers, to help wounds heal safely and quickly.
