What is HBOT?
100% oxygen in an enclosed chamber at higher-than-atmospheric pressure where oxygen dissolves in arterial plasma in increased amounts---up to 10 to 15 fold increase.
Typical course consists of 30 or more treatments done daily for six weeks.

Some Basics
HBOT has been used in chronic wounds for about 40 years.
100% oxygen is delivered to a chamber under high pressure (2 to 2.4 ATA) for 90 minutes
Typical HBOT treatment course consists of 30 or more treatments daily—M-F
Administering oxygen to hypoxic tissue shown to activate fibroblast proliferation, down-regulate inflammatory responses, cytokines, up-regulate growth factors – all proxies for wound healing.
