Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
At the Wound Healing Program at Overlook Medical Center, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a non-invasive medical treatment that uses pressurized oxygen to enhance your body's natural healing process to aid in healing wounds. The treatment is administered by placing the patient in a comfortable chamber that circulates pure oxygen at two to three times atmospheric pressure.
Diabetics with difficult-to-heal wounds or cancer patients who have undergone radiation therapy may benefit from HBOT. Specifically, HBOT can be used to treat:
-
Diabetic wounds
-
Radiation bladder and/or bowel problems
-
Radiation wounds

Crush wounds

Head and neck cancer patients who need oral surgery
