Center for Advance Wound Healing

at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center

Hyperbaric medicine is a part of our wound healing services at the Center for Advance Wound Healing at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center. These non-invasive clear acrylic chambers provide 100% oxygen to promote the optimum healing opportunity. While breathing pure oxygen, your blood plasma becomes saturated, carrying 20 to 30 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body's tissue. The ultimate result is the body's natural wound healing mechanisms (which are oxygen dependent) are able to function more efficiently. Continued use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment increases the body's immune and healing response. Our Certified Hyperbaric Technician will educate you with the knowledge to complete this treatment with the best results. We provide hyperbaric oxygen treatments to adults in Orange County.

State-of-the-Art Facility

Each hyperbaric chamber has its own TV/VCR and CD player to watch movies or listen to music during treatment. The completely transparent chambers allow you to see out and for you to be seen.
