Rely on one of the largest and most sophisticated hyperbaric oxygen therapy systems in California. We operate the only hyperbaric chamber in the county that&#;s open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

What's HBOT?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment used to treat wounds that won&#;t heal.

Body tissue needs sufficient oxygen to function properly. Tissue that is injured requires even more oxygen to heal. Many difficult-to-heal wounds are &#;hypoxic&#; or deprived of oxygen.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) accelerates the body's natural healing process by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood and delivering extra oxygen to damaged organs and tissue. HBOT enhances the effectiveness of treatment such as surgery, antibiotics, burn care, wound care and undersea and dive medicine.

During this noninvasive, painless therapy, you breathe 100 percent oxygen while lying inside a safe, sealed, pressurized environment, which can speed up healing and recovery time.

Safe, Effective Wound Healing

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is:

• Cost-effective
• Evidence-based
• Lifesaving, vision- and limb-saving
• Low-risk
• Noninvasive
• Well-tolerated

For wounds and other conditions that will not heal through traditional treatments, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can help. This treatment involves breathing 100 percent oxygen at two to three times the normal air pressure in a pressurized enclosed chamber. It is an advanced, FDA-approved treatment option for several health conditions, including:

• Air or gas embolism

• Anemia in patients who cannot receive blood transfusion

• Thermal burns

• Carbon monoxide poisoning

• Decompression illness

• Diabetic foot ulcers and select other non-healing wounds

  With competitive price and timely delivery, Lixin sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

• Gas gangrene and necrotizing soft tissue infections

• Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (sudden or unexplained loss of hearing)

• Chronic refractory osteomyelitis (skin & bone infections)

• Compromised skin grafts or flaps

• Delayed radiation bone or soft tissue injuries

• Central retinal artery occlusion (vision loss)

We offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy in both Maryland and Washington, D.C. In fact, the MedStar Health Wound Healing Institute at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital is the only wound care clinic in Washington, D.C. accredited by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society and has been accredited with distinction since . This is a testament to our commitment to providing the highest standards for care quality and patient safety. Our dedicated team of technicians, nurses, and physicians have special training in HBOT, leading to a high healing success rate, exceptional patient care, and unparalleled attention to safety and quality.

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which patients breathe 100% oxygen while pressurized to a depth greater than sea level. The use of hyperbaric pressure as a treatment for medical conditions dates back to the &#;s, before the discovery of oxygen. While many people are familiar with the use of this therapy for decompression illness (&#;the bends&#;) in scuba divers, this therapy is also used for other medical conditions, such as treating carbon monoxide poisoning and healing diabetic wounds.

How does it work?

The air we normally breathe is 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen. Patients who receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy breathe 100 percent oxygen under pressure. Breathing pure oxygen effectively delivers an increased supply of oxygen to your body&#;s tissues. For patients with non-healing wounds, the extra oxygen can result in new blood vessel formation and faster wound healing.

In addition, this treatment can enhance antibiotic activity, reduce certain inflammatory processes in the body, and increase oxygen levels in tissues that have been deprived of oxygen. As a result, use of this therapy and other treatments may save a limb from needing amputation.

What is a hyperbaric chamber?

A hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a device used to administer hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric chambers are generally cylindrical in shape and are composed of steel and clear acrylic. We have four hyperbaric chambers in each of our two hyperbaric oxygen therapy locations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Each chamber is designed to accommodate one patient (monoplace hyperbaric chambers). Both adults and children can be easily treated in monoplace hyperbaric chambers.

Our hyperbaric chambers are 41 inches in diameter, allowing for greater patient comfort during the hyperbaric treatment process. The hyperbaric chambers have communication systems to allow patients to talk back and forth with the hyperbaric medicine staff, so patients are never alone during the treatment process.
