Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyberbaric ChamberHyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is one of the most advanced treatments available for healing wounds. This innovative treatment stimulates blood vessel growth in damaged tissues and speeds healing by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood.

Advance Therapy for Healing Wounds

The Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center at North Kansas City Hospital offers this advanced therapy to treat a variety of wounds and conditions, including:

  • Central retinal artery occlusion
  • Compartment syndrome and crush injuries
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Infections of the bones and skin (necrotizing infections, osteomyelitis)
  • Surgical grafts or flaps
  • Sudden hearing loss
  • Tissue damaged by radiation therapy
  • Vascular disease damage (arterial insufficiency)

Wound Healing Accreditation LogoThe Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center is one of three certified healthcare organizations in the U.S. with accreditation from the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, the recognized authority in the field of hyperbaric medicine.

HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a sealed, pressurized oxygen chamber. This painless treatment complements the body’s natural healing processes by helping push oxygen into the blood which speeds healing and helps fight certain types of infection.

Your Care Team

Our award-winning specialists consistently produce clinical results and patient satisfaction on par with the best facilities in the nation. The Center staff will provide instructions and answer your questions before your treatment. The number of treatments required depends on your diagnosis and plan of care. 

Please check with your insurance to see if a referral or prior authorization is required. For more information on the healing powers of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, call the Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center at 816-691-5055.
