Post-Surgery Recovery and Healing

Any surgery can create surgical wounds that need time and extra care to heal. Although Oxygen Therapy can treat any type of surgical incisions, some of the most common surgical procedures that oxygen therapy supports:

• Appendectomy
• C-section; Hysterectomy
• Inguinal hernia repairs
• Mastectomy

Oxygen Therapy offers a safe, natural, and efficient treatment for non-healing surgical wounds. Each treatment session is easy, painless, and even relaxing. If you’ve experienced a surgical wound or infection that can’t heal sufficiently on its own, our wound care healing options can safely accelerate and enhance your healing process.

Oxygen Therapy can also help with the Following:

1. Infections
Most infections develop within 30 days of surgery and cause redness, fever, pain, and delayed healing. A few of the most common types of surgical wound infections include Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Oxygen Therapy can help fight these infections by enhancing the white blood cells’ ability to fight bacteria, build new connective tissues, and improve organ function.

2. Incision Healing
Oxygen Therapy can supplement your healing process, the frequency of treatments will be based on your wound location, size, and level of infection. Oxygen Therapy offers a safe, natural, and efficient therapy for non-healing incision wounds. Since Oxygen Therapy addresses wound healing at a deep cellular level, it can be used to address surgical wounds that are struggling to heal properly.

3. Skin Graft Healing
Oxygen Therapy can significantly increase the likelihood of graft survival and enhance skin graft and flap outcomes. This is done by restoring and strengthening the natural body processes needed to ensure skin-grafting success. It also helps to increase the viability of any compromised tissue, reducing the need for additional grafting procedures.
