MERCER COUNTY’S FIRST HYPERBARIC OXYGEN
TREATMENT FACILITY
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a medical treatment in which
a patient breathes 100% oxygen while under pressure in a hyperbaric
chamber.
What is the Purpose of breathing Oxygen under
Pressure?
Breathing 100% oxygen (O2) under pressure dissolves more O2 in your
body’s blood which is then delivered to those areas that are
having trouble healing due to the lack of O2 in the surrounding tissues.
How long does a Treatment last?
An average treatment lasts approximately two (2) hours.
What Conditions Benefit from HBOT?
• A person with diabetes and a wound that is slow to heal, or
is not healing
• Someone with damaged tissue from radiation therapy
• Someone with a skin graft that has a questionable blood supply
• Certain infections of the bone and/or skin
• Anyone with a wound that has shown no improvement in 4 weeks
