Wound Healing Center Receives National Recognition
HRMC Wound Healing Center Offers Progressive Treatment Options
Healing is typically a natural process, but for diabetics and patients with certain skin, bone and tissue conditions, healing is not something that can ever be taken for granted. Even for an otherwise healthy individual, generally, any wound that fails to show signs of significant healing within 30 days should be evaluated by a physician immediately.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Twenty percent of wound treatment plans require the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment that increases the amount of oxygen in the patient's blood, allowing oxygen to pass more easily through the plasma and into the wounds to heal them. HBO chambers surround patients with 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. The Wound Healing Center now offers the latest state-of-the-art outpatient hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Conditions for HBO treatment include:
- Diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities
- Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
- Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
- Compromised skin grafts
- Osteoradionecrosis
- Progressive necrotizing infections
- Actinomycosis
- Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
- Soft tissue radionecrosis
- Crush injuries
- Gas gangrene
| Other non-wound conditions for HBO treatment include: Acute CO intoxicationDecompression illnessGas embolismCyanide poisoning |

Weighing more than one ton, the HBO chamber resembles a reclining bed inside a large, clear acrylic shell. Patients are able to listen to music or watch television and movies while undergoing treatment. The only physical sensation from the treatment is a slight pressure on the eardrums, such as that felt on a landing airplane.
Each member of the Wound Healing Centers attentive and skilled nursing staff has received special training and certification to care for patients while they are in the chamber.
