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 over 800% more oxygen to dissolve into your bloodstream than you get by breathing normally.

This can only possible because of the controlled pressure of the Hyperbaric Chamber. It allows the oxygen to dissolve directly into the water of the blood (blood plasma) in high quantities, without relying on the red blood cells to carry it.

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.
