Wound Healing and Surgery Recovery in Lower Manhattan
Medical-Grade HBOT Services at MD Hyperbaric Tribeca
Whether you’re recovering from orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, or managing a chronic wound in New York City, healing quickly and completely is essential to your quality of life. MD Hyperbaric Tribeca offers advanced wound recovery in Lower Manhattan through physician-supervised hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Our medical-grade treatments accelerate healing, reduce complications, and minimize scarring, helping you recover faster and more comfortably than traditional wound care alone.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wound Healing and Surgery Recovery
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a noninvasive surgery recovery treatment that utilizes a pressurized chamber to deliver 100% pure oxygen, allowing your body to absorb up to 1,200% more oxygen than through normal breathing. This concentrated oxygen reaches surgical wounds, damaged tissues, and areas with poor healing at the cellular level, dramatically accelerating the healing process.
Unlike traditional New York City wound care that focuses primarily on dressings and topical treatments, HBOT addresses the root cause of delayed healing — oxygen deprivation in damaged tissues. After surgery or injury, blood flow to affected areas becomes restricted, limiting oxygen delivery and prolonging inflammation.
HBOT can help with wound healing in Lower Manhattan, saturating your plasma with oxygen and triggering multiple healing mechanisms:
- Reduced inflammation and swelling
- Accelerated tissue repair and collagen production
- Enhanced circulation through new blood vessel growth
- Reduced infection risk through antimicrobial effects
- Minimized scarring for better cosmetic outcomes
HBOT Treatments for Surgery and Wound Recovery
At MD Hyperbaric Tribeca, we provide specialized treatments for orthopedic surgery recovery in New York City, including total knee replacement, hip replacement, spinal surgery, and fracture repair. Our plastic surgery recovery in Lower Manhattan supports patients undergoing breast augmentation, tummy tucks, liposuction, facelifts, and reconstructive procedures. We also treat chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, radiation tissue damage, and nonhealing surgical incisions.
The HBOT Process
Your journey begins with a free discovery call where our team answers your questions and determines if treatment is right for you. After completing a simple health intake form, our Medical Director creates a customized protocol — typically 10 to 30 sessions, depending on your surgery type and healing progress.
Relax during your 60 to 90-minute sessions at our wound recovery center in Tribeca. You can read, listen to music, or rest in our spacious, FDA-cleared Fortius420 chamber while breathing pure oxygen. Many patients begin HBOT within 24 to 48 hours post-surgery for optimal results, though treatment can benefit healing even weeks or months after procedures.

What to Know Before Your Treatment
What is Medical-Grade HBOT?
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.
What conditions can be treated with HBOT?
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.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?
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.
How long is each session?
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.
How many sessions will I need?
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.
How should I prepare prior to a session?
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.
What should I wear or bring to my session?
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.
Why is a HBOT treatment session called a “dive”?
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.
What type of hyperbaric chamber do you use?
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.
What is the difference between hard-shell and soft-shell hyperbaric chambers?
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.
How do I know if I’m eligible for HBOT?
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.
Do I need a referral from a doctor to receive 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.
Do you accept insurance?
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.
