More than one million people are diagnosed with diabetes each year, in addition to the 7% of the population who have been already been diagnosed. Approximately 15% of these patients will eventually face serious diabetic foot ulcers, which require more than what traditional wound care can offer. Traditional wound care has come a long way over the years, but the bottom line is that there is an even more effective and better way. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not meant to replace quality wound care for diabetic foot ulcers; however, when they are used together, it can increase the likelihood that your patient will not face amputation.

Not only is hyperbaric oxygen therapy showing tremendous results for diabetic foot ulcers, there are many other conditions that may be helped using this technology. Diabetic Ulcers is just one of the 13 listed and approved UHMS indications. Many studies are being done worldwide for treatment of other non-approved conditions.
