Why Oxygen — Under Pressure?
Bottom line: HBOT bathes every cell in oxygen‑rich plasma, jump‑starting repair where blood flow is low.
Three things happen inside the chamber:
-
Oxygen supersaturation – Plasma holds up to 20 × more O₂ at 2.0 ATA (atmospheres absolute).
-
Rapid edema reduction – Boyle’s law shrinks swelling, restoring capillary flow.
-
Turbo‑charged immunity – White cells kill bacteria faster in high‑O₂ environments.
That trio points to one result: faster, cleaner wound closure.

Evidence‑Based Use |
Why HBOT Works |
Key Policy / Study |
|---|---|---|
|
Diabetic foot ulcers |
Promotes angiogenesis, fights infection, lowers amputation risk |
Meta‑analysis: 50 % fewer major amputations |
|
Radiation tissue injury |
Reverses fibro‑atrophy, re‑oxygenates hypoxic bone & soft tissue |
CMS NCD 20.29 |
|
Compromised skin grafts / flaps |
Restores micro‑circulation, boosts collagen |
MDPI review 2023 |
|
Osteomyelitis (refractory) |
Elevates local pO₂, potentiates antibiotics |
CMS NCD 20.29 |
|
Crush / traumatic wounds |
Shrinks edema, limits reperfusion injury |

HBOT carries 14 FDA‑cleared uses; talk with a credentialed provider about eligibility.
Evidence: Healing Faster, Saving Limbs
1. Lower Amputation Rates
-
Meta‑analysis of 8 RCTs: HBOT + standard care halved major amputations in diabetic‑foot patients
-
Medicare notes HBOT is justified when no 30‑day progress on conventional wound care
2. Shorter Time‑to‑Closure
-
HBOT patients close chronic wounds weeks sooner than control groups in multiple cohort studies.
3. Infection Control
-
Hyper‑oxygenated tissue boosts leukocyte kill rate, slicing deep‑tissue infection odds.
Beyond Chronic Wounds: Two Emerging Frontiers
Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery Recovery
-
Randomized pilot: 5 daily HBOT dives after cosmetic procedures cut edema & bruising times nearly in half
-
Surgeons report higher graft/flap survival and lower infection rates.
Sports & Orthopedic Medicine
-
Elite athletes (Tom Brady, LeBron James) use HBOT for micro‑tear repair and reduced DOMS.
-
Recent review lists six performance benefits, from faster muscle recovery to concussion support
-
NFL veterans keep personal chambers for off‑season healing
