Enhanced Healing For Problem Wounds

The hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers at Hutchinson Regional offer hope to patients with non-healing wounds, those that don’t respond to conventional treatment measures. The chamber supersaturates the body with pressurized oxygen to promote tissue healing, a reassuring thought if you’re facing life-, limb- or oxygen-related deficits.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatments bring relief to many patients, helping them resume daily activities without pain or bulky, odorous bandages.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps treat:

• Diabetic wounds
• Osteomyelitis (bone infections)
• Radiation-induced injuries
• Severe crush injuries
• Compromised skin grafts or flaps
• Other life- or limb-threatening conditions

Led by Medical Director David Anderson, M.D., the Wound and Hyperbaric Center at Hutchinson Regional is becoming one of the fastest-growing wound care facilities in the region with three hyperbaric oxygen chambers now available.
