The science and technology of wound care management continues to grow and change. We utilize the latest in technology in the assessment and treatment of chronic wounds. We also utilize the latest in wound dressings such as silver containing products, cadexomer iodine, and exzymatic debriders. Wound healing modalities such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound dressings; negative pressure wound therapy; hydrotherapy, and becalpermin are available as are appropriate. At times multiple modalities are are necessary for healing to occur. Click here to find a physician. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a means of providing additional oxygen to your body tissues. This is done by placing the patient's entire body under increased atmospheric pressure in a closely monitored airtight chamber. During HBOT, the patient breathes 100% oxygen for a prescribed period of time. The following wounds respond well to Hyperbaric medicine: - Diabetic Wounds
- Any wound present beyond 30 days or failing to improve
- Slow or non-healing surgical wounds
- Resistant Foot Ulcers
- Lower Leg Ulcers
- Radiation injuries to bone and soft tissue
- Slow healing amputation and graft sites

in mind. Temperature is closely monitored and audio and video
features are added for enjoyment.
