Advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen Services

How your hospital will benefit from our Hyperbaric Medicine Program?

LST can provide complete hyperbaric services, with or without wound care, to best customize and complement your hospital operation.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) enhances the natural healing process in the body by increasing blood oxygen levels. Normally, only red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body. By breathing 100% O2 under pressure inside a hyperbaric chamber, the oxygen is dissolved into all of the body’s tissues. This assists white blood cells to fight bacteria, reduces tissue swelling, and allows new blood vessels to form, which in return helps with the formation of new healthy tissue and overall healing. HBOT is a non-invasive and painless treatment in a monoplace (single patient) or multiplace (two or more patients) hyperbaric chamber. It is an adjunctive therapy, which means it is generally part of an overall care plan, integrated with wound care, diet and other treatment.
