SURGERY (PRE/POST) & HBOT

Many surgeons now recommend pre and/or postoperative HBOT to their patients to enhance their healing, recovery and improve results.

SURGERY (PRE/POST) & HBOT

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may be utilized both pre- and post-operatively to support healing, minimize complications, and enhance overall surgical outcomes. By increasing oxygen levels in the blood and tissues, HBOT promotes more efficient wound healing and helps strengthen the body’s immune response.

If you’re preparing for surgery and concerned about potential complications, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may be a valuable addition to your preoperative care. It can be especially beneficial before complex or high-risk procedures, as it helps enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms and reduce the risk of infection. Exploring both pre- and post-surgical HBOT protocols can support a more complete and complication-free recovery.

HBOT can also potentially reduce post-surgical bruising, swelling and inflammation and pain.

HOW HBOT CAN HELP

Benefits of Hyperbaric Therapy Pre-Surgery include

  • Reduce swelling, edema, and inflammation

  • Supply pure 100% oxygen to the injured tissue

  • Improve the strength of healed tissue

  • Improve collagen synthesis and decrease fibrosis

  • Increase the efficacy of antibiotics

  • Stimulate the production of new blood vessels

  • Reduce the risk of infection

HBOT and Post-op Surgery Benefits Include:

  • Faster relief from swelling and inflammation

  • Reduced bruising

  • Lower risk of scarring

  • Reduced risk of infection

  • Improved cell regeneration

  • Expedited healing process

  • Shorter recovery time

Physiological Benefits
