Our experts, at the UPMC McKeesport location, are proud to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for certain wounds, a non-invasive treatment option that can promote healing. HBOT utilizes oxygen under pressure to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal. Patients breathe 100 percent oxygen inside a clear acrylic chamber that is pressurized at two to three times greater than atmospheric pressure. This environment stimulates the rebuilding of blood vessels while fighting infection, helping to heal persistent wounds. What causes nonhealing wounds? • Diabetes • Poor circulation • Vascular diseases • Traumatic injuries • Pressure ulcers • Late effects of radiation • Infections • Surgical wounds Our Expert Specialists Marc E.
