  • What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment where patients breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This method increases oxygen levels in the blood and tissues, which can accelerate healing processes and reduce inflammation in the body. At Life Support Technologies Group, we are proud to offer hyperbaric services in the tri-state area of Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York.
  • How does hyperbaric promote healing in the body?

    Hyperbaric enhances the body's healing processes by increasing tissue oxygenation, boosting immune function, reducing swelling, and promoting the growth of new blood vessels. These effects contribute to faster recovery from various conditions, including wounds, infections, and radiation-induced injuries. For more detailed information, we encourage you to contact Life Support Technologies Group.
  • Is hyperbaric a painful or invasive treatment?

    Hyperbaric is neither painful nor invasive. Patients simply relax in a hyperbaric chamber while breathing pure oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. The process is comfortable and non-intrusive.
  • What types of conditions are treated with hyperbaric?

    Hyperbaric is FDA-approved for treating several conditions, including diabetic foot ulcers, radiation tissue damage, chronic osteomyelitis, skin grafts and flaps, air embolism, thermal burns, and acute traumatic ischemias.
  • What is the difference between monoplace and multiplace hyperbaric chambers?

    Monoplace chambers are designed for individual use, offering privacy to patients. Multiplace chambers can accommodate several patients simultaneously and are commonly used in hospital settings. Both types of chambers provide effective hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  • Can hyperbaric be used alongside other treatments like wound care or diet plans?

    Hyperbaric is often used in conjunction with other medical treatments. It can be effectively integrated with advanced wound care techniques, nutritional therapy, and various other medical interventions to optimize healing outcomes.
