The Healing Power of Hyperbaric Wound Care Therapy
Hyperbaric wound care therapy at the CMC Wound Care Center is a cutting-edge medical treatment that involves exposing patients to 100% oxygen within a pressurized chamber. This unique approach enhances the body’s natural healing processes by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, helping to heal wounds more effectively.
What Kinds of Wounds Can Hyperbaric Therapy Heal?
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
One common type of wound that hyperbaric therapy can effectively treat is diabetic foot ulcers. These ulcers, which often occur in diabetic patients due to poor circulation and nerve damage, can be challenging to heal. However, hyperbaric therapy has shown promising results in accelerating the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
Radiation-Induced Skin Injuries
Patients who have undergone radiation therapy may experience skin injuries as a side effect of treatment. Hyperbaric therapy can help in the healing of these injuries by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, providing relief to patients undergoing radiation treatment.
Non-Healing Wounds
Individuals with wounds that have not responded well to traditional treatments may benefit from hyperbaric therapy. This advanced treatment can stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and improve circulation to the affected area, helping non-healing wounds to finally close and heal.

The Science Behind Hyperbaric Wound Care
During a hyperbaric therapy session, patients lay inside a clear-sided chamber and breathe in pure oxygen under increased pressure, allowing their lungs to gather more oxygen than usual. Blood-oxygen levels can increase by nearly three times. This oxygen-rich blood is then circulated throughout the body, promoting faster healing of damaged tissues and fighting off infections that can impede the healing process.
