About Hyperbaric Medicine (HBO) - Crestwood Medical Center
Hyperbaric Medicine (HBO) at Crestwood Medical Center offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) provided by physicians at the Wound Care Center who are specialty-trained in hyperbaric medicine, along with clinical hyperbaric technicians and staff. HBOT helps the body's oxygen-dependent, wound-healing mechanisms function more efficiently. During treatment, patients breathe pure oxygen inside a chamber at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure, which saturates their blood plasma and allows it to carry 15 to 20 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body's tissues. Crestwood Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is a member of the Healogics network and offers specialized wound care for conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and infections. The Wound Care Center at Crestwood Medical Center also provides advanced wound care modalities such as negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings, and growth factor therapies. The center has received awards for clinical excellence and patient satisfaction. They offer personalized treatment plans tailored to the patient's specific wound type, overall health, and lifestyle needs. Likely candidates for treatment at the center are those suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections, radiation injuries to soft tissue and bone, compromised skin grafts and flaps, and wounds that haven't healed within 30 days. The clinic uses a multidisciplinary approach to outpatient wound care to facilitate the healing process. Physicians generally refer patients for specialized wound care, but patients may also make an appointment directly. Crestwood Medical Center is a 180-bed full-service acute care hospital.
