Topical Oxygen Wound Therapy

Patients and Wound Healing

Patients can be very vulnerable to the development of chronic wounds from a variety of reasons in the medical setting that can include elective surgery, burns, arterial ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers. Many times patients have recurring infection in chronic wounds even after months of being treated with antibiotics, antimicrobial dressings, and negative wound therapy.

The Role of Oxygen in Wound Healing

In chronic wounds, oxygen plays a vital role in the wound completely healing and not reoccurring. If there is insufficient available oxygen in a wound hypoxia occurs and is a major reason why chronic wounds do not heal fully.

Comfortheal O2 Topical Oxygen Therapy is a safe, non-invasive therapy that addresses this hypoxia and lack of oxygen that cause chronic wounds not to heal.

ComfortHeal O2 Topical Oxygen system is specially designed extremity and torso chamber units that allow constant/pressured oxygen to be delivered to various wounds. The chamber is placed around a patients effected region and enables a greater amount of oxygen diffusion into wounds and  enhances multiple molecular and enzymatic functions.¹ ²

Comfortheal O2 chambers is available with an extremity chamber that can be applied to legs and arms or a multi-patch system that can be applied anywhere on the body.
