Surgery Preparation & Accelerated Recovery 

All surgeries, even those performed to cure or improve medical conditions, result in wounds that the body will need to heal. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) optimizes the oxygenation (and thus the healing potential) of tissue prior to surgery and accelerates wound healing post operatively.

Although there are many additional examples, pre and post surgical HBOT can improve recovery from orthopedic procedures or injuries such as an ACL tear, decrease bruising and swelling post plastic surgery, and improve tissue healing after cancer surgeries. 

HBOT is especially effective in complex surgical cases where where there is a high risk of wound healing complications.

HBOT for Surgery Preparation & Accelerated Recovery

HBOT aids in surgery preparation and accelerated recovery in the following ways: 

  • Reduces edema/inflammation
  • Enhances oxygen availability to injured tissue
  • Promotes fibroblast proliferation/collagen synthesis, decreasing fibrosis
  • Enhances antibiotic efficacy
  • Reduces incidence of infection due to the enhancement of leukocyte oxidative killing
  • Increases tensile strength of healed tissue
  • Increases angiogenesis
