Microcirculation
is the network of the smallest of the blood vessels at the end of
arterial and venous system where the all important nutrient exchange
happens for the basic cell metabolism.
Oxygen
therapy will first and foremost affect the microcirculatin
and
cell metabolism. This effect will then carry from the cellular level to
the improved organ function.
Blood carrying more oxygen to the tissue and improved circulation can
be measured with :
Transcutaneous tissue
oxymentry
Laser Doppler flowmetry
Assessment
of the microcirculations is non-invasive, non painful and is very
important in evaluating the present condition before entering the
oxygen therapy as well as progress and success of the hyperbaric oxygen
therapy.
For
those who are asking the questions on effectivenes of various treatment
options, therapy lenght and chamber technologies (air versus oxygen
compression) this is a tool for validation.
For people with leg problems and poor circulation the microvascular
assessment is a precise estimate of the number of sessions needed for
improved circulation. There is no more need to guestimate - not only
the improved health but also numbers will show.
Proactive wound care
Proactive
wound care is the timely application of appropriate wound care therapy
and
prevention methods. Early detection of microcirculation damage is
crucial as well as commencement of hyperbaric oxygen therapy
to obtain the most
effective health care management.
We continuously scan for scientific advancements in wound care and
select products according to the following criteria:
- Reduce the need for surgical debridment
- Reducing pain and the need for pain medication
- Gently removing necrotic tissue
- Promoting faster formation of granulation tissue and
re-epithelization
- Providing soft and moist environment for more
effective healing
- Easy application and removal, without the disruption
of the newly formed granulation tissue
- Comfortable to wear
- Can be changed only once a week, which reduces the
time and cost of dressing

Preventive Oxygen Therapy
Regular
hyperbaric oxygen sessions can boost microcirculation and
initiate release of stem cells from bone marrow. Stem cells
are one of the most important factors in tissue repair and maintenance
of optimal health.
Oxygen therapy is used in treatment of:
- Soft tissue injuries and bone fractures
- Venous and arterial ulcers
- Diabetic wounds, gangrene, neuropathies
- Pressure sores (decubitus)
- Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
- Post radiation problems
- Chron’s and ulcerative colitis
- Abscesses, fistulas and fissures
- Post surgical wounds and grafts
- Cosmetic surgery
- Burns and frost bites
- Closed wounds (hematoma, bruises, crush injury,
internal fissures)
