OUR HBOT CLINIC
How HBOT Works
HBOT helps wound healing by bringing oxygen-rich plasma to tissue starved for oxygen. Patients breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized environment.
In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.
When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED
HBOT for Improved Healing
Non Healing Wounds
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven to be beneficial in advanced wound care in diabetic foot ulcers and other chronic wounds. HBOT is an important adjunct in these patients who should also attempt to correct vascular abnormalities, optimize diabetes control, nutrition, wound debridement, wound dressing, off-loading, and treatment of underlying infection
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
There’s good evidence that HBOT helps heal tissues damaged by cancer radiation treatments, burns, and infections, and it can help reduce the need for foot and leg amputations in diabetics. A doctor will make a referral for these and other Health Canada-cleared conditions, including severe anemia and sudden vision or hearing loss. HBOT is also cleared by the Health Canada for the preservation of skin grafts. ... See MoreSee Less

Jay Leno treated inside hyperbaric chamber after suffering third-degree burns
Jay Leno has been treated in a hyperbaric chamber and received skin grafts from donors after he suffered third-degree burns in a freak accident while working on a vintage car.
The 72-year-old actor allowed Inside Edition to film him lying inside the medical device in a blue hospital gown, with his left arm and right hand covered in bandages.
Dr. Peter Grossman, Leno’s physician, explained the importance of the hyperbaric chamber.
“It helps decrease swelling, it helps increase blood flow with good oxygenation and it helps decrease bacteria,” Grossman told Inside Edition.
The former “Tonight Show” host also suffered burns on his face and chest, according to the program.
“He’s had skin grafts that are not his own, meaning the skin we have from a skin bank or a donor, that’s what we do as a first stage,” Grossman said.
Leno, who was scheduled to undergo another surgical procedure this week, has been walking around, cracking jokes and sharing cookies at the Grossman Burn Center, the doctor said. ... See MoreSee Less

The rate of complications after breast reconstruction surgery is 15% to 20% due to partial loss of the mastectomy skin flaps.
A skin graft or flap is “compromised” when the graft or flap and the patient’s wound bed may not “take” or combine, and as a result, is likely to fail to close the wound. This can happen due to an abnormal change in the blood supply of the flap and/or in the health of the patient’s wound bed that will be receiving the graft/flap.
Without a healthy blood supply, the graft or flap becomes oxygen-starved and fails. When a flap or graft is “compromised”, surgeons will first see if the problem can be corrected with surgery. If it cannot be completely corrected with surgery, HBOT may be used.
HBOT has been proven to be beneficial in this situation, by delivering more oxygen to both the graft/flap and the wound bed. HBOT assists with healing by:
Limiting the death of healing cells at the skin graft or flap site by providing oxygen to oxygen-starved cells
Stimulating cells that trigger new blood vessel and tissue growth
Improving swelling (edema) by reducing leakage of the fluid in the blood into the graft or flap ... See MoreSee Less
