Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treats patients in a pressurised chamber where their entire body is exposed to 100% oxygen, which super-oxygenates the bloodstream to promote the growth of new small blood cells and support tissue re-growth. It is a life-saving treatment for medical emergencies such as carbon monoxide poisoning and gas gangrene and is adjunctive therapy in the treatment of many types of non-healing wounds. HBOT was originally developed to treat underwater divers suffering from “the bends” (decompression sickness).
