Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine

Care for non-healing wounds

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber

Santa Rosa Medical Center offers specialized, outpatient care for non-healing wounds, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our team of doctors, nurse practitioners and nurses provide the latest treatments available to promote healing of chronic wounds and help patients recover as quickly as possible. We provide care for:

• Bone infections
• Diabetic foot and leg wounds
• Recurring wounds
• Surgical wounds
• Ulcers, including ischemic, pressure and venous stasis
• Wounds association with radiation therapy
• Other conditions such as bites, infections and more

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment in which the patient breaths 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The therapy quickly delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream, assists in the healing process of wounds, and is effective in fighting certain types of infections.

To determine the best course of treatment, we will do a thorough evaluation of your wound and current health status. Health care professionals who specialize in wound healing will educate you about the cause of your wound, and keep you informed throughout the healing process. They will provide information on how to:

• Prevent wounds from happening
• Care for your wound
• Recognize early warning signs of complications

In most cases, a referral from your primary care physician is not necessary. However for continuity of care, we will communicate with your primary care physician. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (850) 994-4523.
