Wound Treatment in Montclair, NJ
For many, the healing of a wound is a natural process that doesn’t require a second thought. But for diabetics, patients undergoing radiation therapy, or those with certain skin diseases, non-healing wounds are a fact of life.

By first assessing the wound, we are able to determine its barriers to healing and then devise an individualized treatment plan. No matter your needs, our wound care experts are ready to address them with compassion and expertise.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
HBOT is a painless treatment that delivers 100% pure oxygen to your body to enhance its natural healing process and strengthen your immune system. HBOT has been proven to promote new capillary and skin growth, increase the ability of white blood cells to fight infection, and reduce local swelling in the area of your wound.
HBOT can treat the following conditions:
- Acute arterial insufficiency
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Chronic bone infection
- Crush injuries
- Decompression sickness
- Delayed radiation injuries (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
- Diabetic leg & foot wounds
- Gas gangrene
- Necrotizing infections
- Other select non-healing wounds
- Radiation related problems
During HBOT, the patient enters a clear, pressurized chamber full of oxygen. The pressure is not uncomfortable or even noticeable to most patients. Patients can read, take a nap, or even watch TV while inside of the chamber. Most treatments last between an hour and a half to two hours. Patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wounds will typically undergo treatment every day, Monday to Friday, for five to six weeks.
