HyOx delivers hyperbaric oxygen therapy to save limbs and lives as chronic, non-healing wounds, especially in people with diabetes, are the leading cause of amputation. Various types of wounds caused by tissue hypoxia (lack of blood flow) or ischemia (reduced blood flow) disrupt activities of daily living and quality of life. Whether wounds stem from cancer, infection, trauma, and other injuries, these covered complications benefit from the safe delivery of life-giving oxygen to dying and depleted areas of the body. Hyperbaric medicine heals with this undisputed scientific fact: oxygen is vital to all processes of wound healing.

HyOx treats the following approved and covered non-healing wound-related complications:

Acute Thermal Burns - Cell and tissue death happens in the central area of most burn injuries and moves to normal tissue causing inflammation and sluggish blood flow. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps alleviate the body’s intense inflammatory reaction to the heat damage to expedite healing.

Compromised Skin Grafts & Flaps - Skin grafts and flaps may have trouble healing from swelling or poor blood flow making the mechanics of hyperbaric oxygen therapy an effective and necessary treatment to achieve good clinical outcomes.

Diabetic Foot Wounds - In patients with diabetes, bacterial infection can destroy skin, tissue, and bone. Non-healing wounds that don’t show significant progress after 30 days of traditional treatments like wound care and antibiotics qualify for hyperbaric oxygen therapy intervention to promote healing and salvage limbs.

Brown Recluse Spider Bites - A bite from the brown recluse spider causes a complex problem wound that can lead to significant tissue necrosis if left untreated. It’s vital for hyperbaric oxygen therapy to be delivered during the early stages of ulceration to avoid further complications.
