Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT)

HBOT was originally used to treat scuba divers suffering from decompression sickness. Extensive testing has shown that HBOT is also highly effective in providing increased oxygen to the tissues in your body, resulting in new tissue growth and healing.

Our specialists use this technology to help accelerate the healing of persistent and serious wounds.

Multidisciplinary Approach

The physicians at the UPMC Wound and Hyperbaric Centers will consult with other physicians such as infectious disease, surgical optimization, etc. to provide the best overall care plan to meet your needs. Your care team will communicate with your referring physician about your treatment to ensure that you receive the right ongoing care.

Advanced Treatments

Because the science and technology of wound care advances almost daily, the UPMC  Wound and Hyperbaric Centers place an emphasis on continuing education for our staff. We also conduct educational outreach to keep our referring physicians and nursing groups abreast of the latest developments and treatment protocols in wound care.
