The Center for Wound Healing at Morton Hospital

If you are one of the more than five million Americans suffering from a chronic or non-healing wound, The Center for Wound Healing at Morton Hospital offers comprehensive wound care services that can help you. The services offered include optimal patient management to facilitate wound healing, the most utilized advanced local wound care products and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a proven medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing while strengthening the immune system. Delivered and monitored by trained wound healing center specialists, HBOT is an effective treatment option for many chronic wounds.



What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment in which the entire body is under increased atmospheric pressure and the patient breaths 100% oxygen. Greater amounts of oxygen entering the body promote blood oxygen flow to damaged tissue, reduced infection, increased healing of the wounds, reduced swelling, and preservation of tissue. This treatment is not painful and there are very few side effects.

At The Center for Wound Healing, we use a single person (monoplace) chamber. The chamber is approximately eight feet long and about 34 inches wide. This unit is comfortable and allows the patient to watch a movie or their favorite TV programs. A certified hyperbaric oxygen technician is always in attendance.
