Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine

Center of Distinction 2021

The healing of a wound involves a complex chain of events in the body. First, special blood cells called platelets stick to the injured area to form a temporary plug. At the same time, proteins are activated to form a tissue glue called fibrin, which is laid down at the site of the platelet plug to make it secure. Eventually, scar tissue forms to complete the healing. But sometimes a wound does not heal as quickly or completely as it should, and specialized therapy is needed. To meet this need, Comanche County Memorial Hospital has provided a unique center designed to treat wounds that have difficulty healing.

The Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine treats patients whose wounds have not healed with various types of treatments to include hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This form of therapy introduces patients to an environment of 100% oxygen through the use of a pressurized chamber.

Wounds originate from various causes and conditions, and they are among the most common health problems today.

The types of wounds cared for at The Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine include those resulting from:
