Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wound Care
At Winchester Hospital, you get access to a leading-edge approach to wound care known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This treatment has proven effective in assisting in wound healing and fighting infections. It also helps build new blood vessels and healthy tissue in a wound. This therapy can be used to treat chronic wounds, wounds or symptoms resulting from radiation therapy and other types of wounds.
