About HBOT

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an advanced medical treatment in which patients breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen inside a pressurized chamber

Overview

  • Enhances wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers and non-healing wounds

  • Treats decompression sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning

  • Supports recovery in radiation injuries and soft tissue infections

  • Aids in management of certain neurological and vascular conditions

  • Improves tissue oxygenation in compromised blood supply areas

Workflow

Step 1: Medical Evaluation
Patient undergoes clinical assessment to determine suitability for HBOT.

Step 2: Chamber Preparation
Patient enters monoplace or multiplace hyperbaric chamber.

Step 3: Pressurization
Chamber pressure is gradually increased while patient breathes 100% oxygen.

Step 4: Therapeutic Session
Treatment session typically lasts 60–120 minutes under continuous monitoring.

Step 5: Decompression & Exit
Pressure is slowly normalized before the patient exits the chamber.

Step 6: Follow-up & Documentation
Progress is monitored and therapy sessions are scheduled as per protocol.
