Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy provides 100% oxygen within a pressurized chamber, which gently increases the amount of oxygen delivered to your body tissues by the bloodstream. HBO therapy is used to treat a variety of illnesses as well as problem wounds, and provided distinct therapeutic benefits:
- Enhanced wound healing
- White blood cell stimulation, the body’s natural defense to infection
- Formation of new blood vessels
- Preservation of tissues from radiation damage
- Reduction or elimination of the effects of toxic substances
Griffin Hospital was among the first hospitals in Connecticut to provide hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy as part of our comprehensive wound care program, and our program is accredited by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society.
