Have you been wanting to try Hyperbarics? Did you know that it has a significant role when treating wounds?

At Anchor Wound Management, we strive to provide our patients with the most advanced and effective treatments available. One such treatment is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a groundbreaking approach that can significantly improve wound healing. This article will explore how HBOT works, its benefits for wound treatment, and why it is an essential tool in our wound care arsenal.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves the administration of pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. During a typical session, patients breathe 100% oxygen while the pressure in the chamber is increased to levels greater than atmospheric pressure. This enhanced oxygen availability plays a crucial role in promoting healing and recovery.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Helps with Wound Treatment

  1. Enhanced Oxygen Delivery: The primary benefit of HBOT is its ability to deliver a higher concentration of oxygen to tissues. Oxygen is vital for cellular metabolism and repair, and HBOT can significantly increase oxygen levels in the bloodstream, even reaching areas with compromised circulation.

  2. Stimulates Angiogenesis: HBOT promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which is essential for healing chronic wounds. By improving blood flow, HBOT enhances nutrient and oxygen delivery to the wound site, facilitating tissue regeneration.

  3. Reduces Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can hinder the healing process. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps reduce inflammation and swelling in the wound area, creating a more favorable environment for healing.

  4. Fights Infection: Increased oxygen levels can help combat bacterial infections by enhancing the activity of white blood cells and supporting the body’s natural immune response. This is particularly beneficial for patients with diabetic foot ulcers or other infected wounds.

  5. Improves Collagen Formation: Collagen is a crucial protein for wound healing, and HBOT supports the production of collagen fibers, helping to strengthen the new tissue as it forms. This leads to better healing outcomes and improved skin integrity.

  6. Pain Management: Many patients experience reduced pain and discomfort during and after HBOT sessions. The therapy can help alleviate pain associated with chronic wounds and improve overall patient comfort during recovery.


Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a powerful adjunctive treatment for wound care, offering numerous benefits that enhance the healing process. By increasing oxygen delivery, stimulating new blood vessel formation, and reducing inflammation, HBOT significantly improves wound healing outcomes.
