Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy accelerates the healing of any wound, even surgical wounds. It is especially effective when complicated, non-healing wounds, are present. Conditions that have been studied where HBOT can be effective include radiation proctitis, radiation enteritis, non-healing wounds in previously radiated tissue beds, acute pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease and complications, postoperative ileus, and abdominal infections such as diverticulitis.
Consider HBOT after any surgery, especially for patients with comorbidities, such as diabeties, smoking history, or chronic inflammatory conditions.
See the Research & Studies section below for detailed information related to your specialty.
How your patients will benefit from HBOT
- Decreases inflammation
- Downregulates TNF-alpha
- Bacterocidal to anaerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria
- Promotes angiogenesis
- Releases pluripotent stem cells from bone marrow

Boyle’s Law: “The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal has is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies, if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system.”
