The Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing Center is staffed by Board-Certified physicians and a team of highly skilled and trained nurses and technicians. We offer a full range of both hyperbaric oxygen therapy and advanced wound treatment.
The Center is the only one in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area to be accredited by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society. It is also a DAN (Divers Alert Network) referral center. It is the longest running hyperbaric facility in Brooklyn.
Hyperbaric Medicine:
A clear, acrylic chamber is saving the lives and limbs of those who receive this unique treatment. Through varying pressures of 100% pure oxygen, people have regained their ability to walk and live a healthy life. The treatment is called Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBOT). Hyperbaric chambers are used as treatments for many different conditions such as: carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke inhalation, problem wound treatment (diabetic, venous and arterial ulcers), decompression sickness, traumatic injuries, and treatment of damaged tissue from radiation therapy.
The chamber allows patients to breathe in greater amounts of pure oxygen which is then dissolved into the bloodstream and delivered to body tissues in amounts that promote healing and cannot be achieved by any other method. Among its benefits are greater blood vessel formation, enhanced wound healing, preservation of damaged tissue and elimination of toxic substances. The majority of patients feel no pain or discomfort from the therapy. In fact, patients may sleep, watch television or listen to the radio during treatment and are soon able to resume their normal daily activities.
We welcome inquiries regarding problem wounds from both physicians and patients.
