Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Center

Learn more about wound care in the Brazos Valley

For millions of Americans, the aging process, diabetes and other conditions lead to chronic, non-healing wounds. In some cases, these wounds can take weeks, months or even years to fully heal.

Healing deficiencies lead to complications, including acute pain, infections, lost function and even amputation. Chronic wounds keep you from doing the things you love to do.

The expert medical team at College Station Medical Center's Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center specializes in treating wounds that have resisted healing after months or even years of treatment. The sophistication with which these wounds can be treated is what sets us apart.

We balance a practical approach to wound care with progressive options such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a sophisticated technology that speeds the delivery of healing oxygen to the body's tissues.

Our goal is to promote healing and prevent infection and re-injury.

• Prior to a hyperbaric procedure - Only HBO safe clothing is allowed in the chamber. This will be provided to the patient prior to entering. Because we have a Multi-place chamber, you will be seated for the treatment with ample head and leg room. Our chamber seats five patients and one attendant.
• Description of the procedure - Normal medical grade air introduced into the chamber.
• Possible complications - Myopia. Reverses after the therapy is completed.
• Outcome - Improved wound and tissue healing, and lower infection rates.
