Diabetic foot ulcers
Diabetic foot ulcers require specialized care to improve healing, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of serious complications. Our advanced medical therapies focus on increasing oxygen delivery, improving circulation, supporting immune function, and enhancing tissue repair to promote faster and more effective wound healing.
Key Benefits
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) helps with diabetes by promoting the healing of associated complications, particularly diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), and by improving the body's insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
Diabetes can impair blood circulation and nerve function, leading to chronic, non-healing wounds, especially in the feet (DFUs).
HBOT, which involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, helps by:
- Increasing Tissue Oxygenation: The high pressure and pure oxygen allow more oxygen to dissolve in the blood plasma and reach oxygen-starved (hypoxic) tissues, which is essential for healing.
- Promoting Angiogenesis: It stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), enhancing long-term blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged areas.
- Fighting Infection: HBOT enhances the ability of white blood cells to fight bacteria and can inhibit the growth of certain anaerobic bacteria.
- Reducing Inflammation: It has anti-inflammatory properties that help decrease swelling and reduce chronic inflammation markers associated with diabetic complications.
- Stimulating Cell Growth: HBOT promotes the proliferation of fibroblasts and the production of collagen, which are crucial components of the wound healing process.
