You can find relief from slow-healing wounds with specialized care at Wound Care and Hyperbaric Services at Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center.

A multidisciplinary team of specialists helps manage wounds that are slow to heal due to such complications as diabetes, poor circulation and infection. The team:

• Treats patients 16 years and older
• Understands the complexity of wound healing

Wound Care and Hyperbaric Services provides comprehensive care. Specialists may be called in to assist your wound care provider in evaluating and treating any medical condition you may have that is preventing your wound from moving through a normal healing process. Your provider has access to physicians and clinicians in a variety of specialties to assist in your care. These include:

• Endocrinologists

Your doctors may recommend hyperbaric therapy, which allows you to breathe 100% oxygen under pressure, promoting wound healing. A typical two-hour hyperbaric treatment:

• Increases the amount of oxygen carried in your bloodstream
• Allows oxygen to travel farther into tissue to promote healing
• Promotes development of capillaries – small branching blood vessels – for improved circulation
• Promotes your body's wound-healing and infection-fighting capabilities

The hyperbaric program at Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center is unique in that it has two options for providing treatment: a large hyperbaric chamber that can accommodate 12 people and a single-person chamber.
