Hyperbaric
Oxygen Technologies Incorporated provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy
(HBOT) to patients at your healthcare facility where this innovative “standard
of care” treatment modality is not immediately available.
Hyperbaric
oxygen therapy is a means of providing additional oxygen to the
body tissues. This is done by placing the patient's entire body
under increased atmospheric pressure in a closely monitored air-tight
chamber. During HBOT, the patient breathes (and is surrounded
by) 100% oxygen for a prescribed period of time.
The
result of the increased pressure and oxygen concentration greatly
increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood -- and in turn
greatly improves the supply of life giving oxygen to the tissue.
Hyperbaric
oxygen therapy has shown, through controlled clinical trials,
to be effective in treating the disorders. Further, these disorders
are approved for treatment by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical
Society and are reimbursable by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance.

There
is clinical research being currently being conducted on the effects
of HBO therapy in children with Cerebral Palsy and people with
Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke.
Our
country is in the midst of an enormous rise in the need for wound
care. It is estimated that 5 million Americans suffer from chronic
wounds today mostly attributed to secondary to diabetes. Currently
there are over 17 million diabetics in the United States. A high
percentage of these patients have non-healing wounds that require
advanced wound care. Sadly, these wounds often lead to amputations
that further debilitate those afflicted, complicating their health
status even further. HBO treatment has a good success rate in
healing these difficult wounds and ultimately avoiding amputations.
Experts say about 15 percent of the elderly population suffers
from chronic wounds, and the number of individuals 65 and older
is expected to double over the next 30 years. The cost to the
individual and the healthcare industry can be huge. Hyperbaric
oxygen therapy has been proven successful in the treatment of
these complex problem wounds, ultimately saving healthcare costs
and, most importantly, improving a patient's quality of life.
Hyperbaric
Oxygen Technologies can deliver HBO therapy on-site to any qualified
treatment facility. There is no capital outlay for equipment
or staffing required from the hosting facility. Hyperbaric Oxygen
Technologies provides a turn-key HBO operation, including equipment,
personnel, education, and processes. In this arrangement, the
facility has the opportunity to receive a volume of new patients
and increased facility revenue.
Our
vision is to provide Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to any qualified
hospital, making this advanced treatment available to any physician
who needs it for their patient. We want to provide our service
to any healthcare system where it is not currently available.
We want to make sure all hospitals, physicians and patients have
an equal opportunity to receive the best in medical care and
treatment.
