Topical wound oxygen therapy provides the best results of wound healing
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an innovative treatment recommended to treat diabetic wounds, complications of radiation therapy, chronic bone infections, unhealing skin grafts or flaps, and crushing injuries. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used as a complementary treatment for the problem of non-healing wounds meeting specific criteria; 10-20% of the wound-care cases are expected to be treated this way. The oxygen measurements predict leg wound healing by hyperbaric therapy. Topical oxygen therapy helps wound healing by injecting oxygen-rich plasma into tissues starved of oxygen. Because it increases the amount of oxygen delivered to tissue that is not getting enough, it may decrease swelling and the size of wounds in the veins. Fortunately, topical oxygen therapy provides enough pressed oxygen to spur the white and red blood cell activity needed to sustain healing. It also increases the oxygen-rich blood flow, which outweighs the effects of radiation,...
