Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wound Healing and Surgery Recovery

Wounds heal through a complex biological process requiring adequate oxygen, nutrients, and blood flow. Damaged tissues become oxygen-starved, unable to generate new cells or fight infection effectively. For wound recovery in Stamford and throughout Connecticut, hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair, helping surgical sites close faster with less scarring. 

 

During each session, you breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen inside our FDA-cleared chamber while elevated pressure drives oxygen deep into tissues that regular breathing can’t reach. This oxygen flood triggers multiple healing mechanisms:

 

  • New blood vessel formation
  • Enhanced immune function
  • Increased collagen production
  • Reduced swelling

HBOT Applications for Wound Recovery

Our Stamford wound care center supports patients with various healing challenges:

 

  • Non-healing diabetic ulcers: Address the underlying circulation and oxygenation issues that prevent diabetic wounds from closing.
  • Post-surgical incisions: Speed up healing after plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery, or any procedure where tissue repair is critical.
  • Radiation tissue damage: Help tissues damaged by cancer treatment regain blood flow and healing capacity.
  • Compromised skin grafts: Improve graft survival rates by enhancing oxygen delivery to transplanted tissue.
  • Chronic wounds: Support healing in pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, and other stubborn wounds resistant to conventional treatment.
  • Infection management: Enhance your immune system’s ability to clear bacteria from wound sites.

Accelerate Your Body's Natural Healing With Pure Oxygen

A safe, scientifically proven and non-invasive therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen while sitting or lying in a comfortable, pressurized medical-grade hard chamber. Our expert Stamford team, led by a Medical Director, delivers personalized care for recovery, chronic wounds, inflammation, neurological conditions, and more accelerating natural healing and performance.

  • Discovery call: Schedule a free consultation so we can review your wound history, current treatments, and healing challenges.
  • Medical coordination: Our Medical Director reviews your records and coordinates with your wound care specialist or surgeon.
  • Personalized protocol: Receive a customized treatment plan, typically involving 10 to 40 sessions based on wound severity.

Why Choose MD Hyperbaric?

Stamford has several wound care options, from hospital-based centers to specialized clinics. What distinguishes MD Hyperbaric is our focus on hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a core healing modality rather than just one tool among many. Our medical-grade steel chambers deliver therapeutic pressures and oxygen concentrations that soft-shell chambers can’t match.

Preparing for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatment Sessions

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven treatment that enhances healing by flooding the body with oxygen. Used for over 100 years, it supports brain health, anti-aging, athletic recovery, and medical conditions by boosting oxygen in blood, tissues, and organs. Patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, accelerating recovery and promoting cellular repair.

HBOT is FDA-approved for 14 conditions like burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing wounds. Emerging research also supports its use for post-surgical recovery, brain injury, fatigue, inflammation, athletic recovery, and anti-aging. Our medical team will assess if HBOT is right for you.

Yes, HBOT is safe when properly supervised. At MD Hyperbaric, treatments are protocol-driven, medically overseen, and administered by certified staff. Our Medical Director and onsite Safety Director ensure every session is carefully monitored, and we continuously update our protocols based on the latest research to prioritize patient safety.

Typically, most treatment sessions are approximately 60 minutes (some conditions may require up to 90 or 120 minutes). In addition to the actual treatment time, there is time required for the pressurization and depressurization of the chamber, which may add 20 minutes to the overall appointment. The exact duration will depend on your specific treatment plan and the pressure levels used, but you should plan for about 90 minutes for your visit.

The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated. Some patients may benefit from a few sessions, while others may require a more extended treatment plan. A typical protocol will involve 10-40 daily sessions to build up oxygen in the cells. Our Medical Director will recommend a specific treatment plan to address your goals and needs.

Prior to treatment, please try to avoid alcohol or carbonated drinks. It’s best to avoid smoking and any other tobacco products during your treatment period, as they may interfere with the body’s ability to transport oxygen. This can directly affect the time it takes you to heal, and under no circumstance can you smoke 2 hours before or after a session. Otherwise, there are no restrictions for food or activity before or after your treatment. We encourage you to have healthy meals and stay hydrated.

Most patients find HBOT sessions relaxing. You’ll rest comfortably in a 7½-foot-long steel chamber, breathing 100% pure oxygen through a mask. The oxygen has no smell or taste. During pressurization and depressurization, you may feel pressure changes, similar to airplane travel. A trained technician will monitor you throughout the session. You can sit or lie down inside the chamber, and afterward, you can resume normal activities, stay hydrated, and rest.

The term “dive” is used because the process simulates the experience of a deep-sea dive in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has deep roots in diving as it is an important therapy in treating divers that are experiencing “the bends”. In the context of hyperbaric, pressure is increased to levels greater than atmospheric pressure, similar to what divers experience underwater.

At MD Hyperbaric, we use the FDA-cleared OxyHealth Fortius420—a spacious, hard-shell chamber delivering 100% medical-grade oxygen via mask. Operating up to 3.0 ATA, it allows tailored pressures (typically 2.0–2.4 ATA) and supports air breaks for added benefits. With three windows and a 7½-foot length, it ensures comfort and meets the highest safety standards.

At MD Hyperbaric, we use hard-shell chambers that deliver 100% medical-grade oxygen at higher pressures for superior therapeutic benefits. In contrast, soft-shell chambers operate at lower pressures without medical-grade oxygen, making them less effective for medical treatment.

Our team will assess your medical history and specific circumstances through an intake process and initial evaluation with our certified staff and Medical Director will determine your eligibility for HBOT.

No referral is needed. Our Medical Director will review your intake forms and prescribe HBOT if appropriate. If you have a prescription from a provider, we’ll coordinate with them. For serious health conditions, we may recommend getting clearance from your physician.

HBOT is generally not covered by insurance, though most FSA/HSA plans allow reimbursement (check with your provider). MD Hyperbaric is an out-of-network provider, so patients pay out-of-pocket. If you have one of the 14 insurance-approved conditions, reimbursement may be possible. We can provide a superbill and receipt to help you submit a claim to your insurer.

This is an out-of-pocket treatment and we offer a variety of pricing options designed to suit the different medical and financial needs and preferences of our patients. For flexibility, patients can opt for the pay-as-you-go plan at a per session rate. We also have several package options that offer sessions at a reduced rate when purchased upfront. Please contact us to discuss pricing and options. We accept cash, credit or check.
