To aid in the healing process, the Center for Wound Care also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a patient is given 100 percent oxygen in a pressurized environment. The combination of pressure and oxygen increases the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, sending a breath of “fresh air” into your wound to help in the healing process.
