Hyperbaric chamber for burns
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an advanced treatment that promotes healing and tissue growth. This is accomplished by breathing pure oxygen while inside of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. The increased oxygen in your blood promotes increased healing at the burn site.
Depending on the severity of your condition, HBOT may be a viable option to be incorporated into your treatment plan. Our unit houses two hyperbaric chambers that are available for all burn care needs.
