The Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen Extremity Chamber is Now
Available For Rental in
Greater New England
Topical
Hyperbaric Oxygen
The Cornerstone Therapy for any Wound Healing Program
Oxygen...The body's
fundamental mechanism for healing itself! It is essential
for any healing process -- especially for chronic, recalcitrant
open wounds. Oxygen is vital in collagen synthesis, enhancement
of fibroblasts, angiogenesis and leucocyte function.
Topical
Hyperbaric Oxygen raises
tissue oxygen levels at the wound site. The primary indication for topical hyperbaric oxygen
is tissue hypoxia.
The Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen
Extremity Chamber pulses topical hyperbaric
oxygen at intermittent pressure directly to the wound site.
The result...oxygen levels are raised, wounds heal faster and
the cost to heal the wound is drastically reduced.
INDICATIONS
:
Tissue Hypoxia, which includes: chronic wounds,
skin ulceration due to diabetes, venous stasis, decubitus ulcers,
post surgical infections, amputations/infected stumps, frostbite
and bums.
Stage
II, III and IV Open Wounds:
The Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen Extremity Chamber
can treat virtually all types of wounds and ulcers especially
Stage III and IV and is a cornerstone of many treatment plans.
Deep
Ulcers with Exposed Tendons and Bone.
The
State of the Art in Wound Healing
 Not to be confused with disposable
hyperbaric oxygen "bags" that cannot deliver beneficial, pulsating
intermittent pressure to the wound site -- the portable, sturdy
extremity chamber is unique!
Each
treatment Offers:
- Diffused Oxygen which raises capillary P02 levels at the wound
site, stimulating Capillary Budding and granulation of new,
healthy tissue.
- Increased Leukocyte Function
enhances antibacterial activity and suppresses bacterial
growth.
- Intermittent Pressure which stimulates circulation and reduces edema.
- A Moist Sealed, Humidification System that is essential to the
healing process.
Additional
advantages of topical hyperbaric oxygen therapy include low
cost and lack of any systemic oxygen toxicity.
And of course...therapy is non-invasive.
Equipment is FDA cleared and used clinically since 1992.
Accelerated Wound Healing Through Advanced Technology
Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a safe, simple,
effective treatment that has saved many limbs from amputation.
The
Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen Extremity Chamber...
Advanced Design Suitable for Any Setting
 Portable, lightweight and
easy to operate, the chamber is used in hospitals, wound care
centers, nursing homes or at home. Available for
daily rental by institutions in greater Boston and southern
New Hampshire.
PROTOCOL:
- Obtain a doctor's order prior to initiation of treatment.
- Therapy should be utilized on a clean wound or after
the wound has been debrided.
- Recommended Treatment Time: outpatients -- 60 to
90 minutes once daily.
Acute or
Sub-Acute Setting: 3 hours once a day or 90 minutes twice a
day
PROCEDURES:
- Remove all creams, ointments, and dressings prior
to application of the chamber.
- The
wound should be kept covered after each treatment with an
appropriate moist dressing.
OBSERVATIONS:
A definite change should take place by the 8th treatment --
indicated by a cleaner wound with the formation of new capillaries
and islands of granulation tissue.
(Note: Results have been observed as early as 2 treatments.)
TOPICAL HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY...
ADVANCED WOUND CARE TECHNOLOGY OF TOMORROW
"Wounds can not differentiate the manner that oxygen
is transported. Whether oxygen reaches the nicer bed by
hemoglobin or by dissolving through plasma is not important.
Providing an adequate oxygen gradient from the capillary
to the hypoxic tissue bed is the only requirement that
must be filled in order for tissues to benefit. Topical
Hyperbaric oxygen is the modality of choice to raise tissue
oxygen content:"
