Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a revolutionary medical treatment that harnesses the healing power of pure oxygen under pressure. WiseMed's Hycoox system delivers therapeutic benefits for wound healing, neurological conditions, sports recovery, and anti-aging protocols.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma, allowing tissues to receive significantly more oxygen than normal breathing provides, promoting healing and regeneration at the cellular level.
Primary Treatment Applications
First-Line Treatment Conditions:
- Wound Healing: Non-healing wounds and surgical site complications
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Chronic diabetic complications and amputation prevention
- Radiation Injuries: Tissue damage from radiation therapy treatment
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Emergency treatment for CO exposure
- Decompression Sickness: Diving-related pressure injuries ("the bends")
Second-Line Treatment Conditions:
- Sports Recovery: Enhanced athletic performance and injury recovery
- Anti-Aging: Cellular regeneration and longevity protocols
- Chronic Fatigue: Energy restoration and mitochondrial support
- Fibromyalgia: Pain reduction and sleep quality improvement
- Traumatic Brain Injury: Neurological recovery and cognitive enhancement
Experimental Treatment Applications:
- Autism Spectrum Disorders: Neurological support and behavioral improvements

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works
Physiological Mechanisms
- Increased Oxygen Saturation: Plasma oxygen levels increase 10-15 times normal
- Enhanced Tissue Oxygenation: Oxygen reaches poorly perfused areas
- Angiogenesis: New blood vessel formation and improved circulation
- Antimicrobial Effects: High oxygen levels inhibit bacterial growth
- Collagen Synthesis: Accelerated wound healing and tissue repair
Cellular Benefits
- Mitochondrial Function: Enhanced cellular energy production
- Stem Cell Activation: Mobilization of regenerative stem cells
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Reduced systemic inflammation
- Neuroplasticity: Enhanced brain recovery and adaptation
- Antioxidant Production: Increased natural antioxidant defenses
