About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine at Wellington Regional Medical Center offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy as part of its comprehensive wound care services. Operating since 2003, the program uses PERRY monoplace hyperbaric chambers with transparent, double-acrylic walls for patient comfort and close monitoring. The center is part of the Healogics network and has received awards for clinical excellence and patient satisfaction. They focus on treating conditions approved by the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections, and other chronic wounds. The program's physicians have specialized expertise in hyperbaric oxygen therapy and work closely with specially trained technical and nursing staff. They coordinate care with the patient's primary physician. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves short-term inhalation of 100 percent oxygen at high pressures, typically augmenting other treatments to enhance the body's natural healing process. This increases oxygen levels in the bloodstream, promoting white blood cell activity, reducing swelling, and fostering new blood vessel growth. The Center also provides advanced wound care modalities such as negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, and growth factor therapies. They are dedicated to staying on top of leading advances in wound care treatment and offer specialized services devoted to foot health for diabetic patients. The center aims to provide personalized care tailored to individual needs, continuously monitoring progress and adjusting treatment plans as needed.
