Atención de las heridas
La atención de las heridas supone la intervención médica para curar una herida tras una lesión. Se proporciona tratamiento especializado para heridas que no cicatrizan o que no cicatrizan por sí solas. Para promover la cicatrización, es de vital importancia aprender a vendar y cuidar adecuadamente las heridas.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
In hyperbaric therapy, the patient breathes pure oxygen while inside a compression chamber at pressures considerably greater than that at sea level. We offer advanced HBOT using our fully accredited monoplace hyperbaric chambers. The treatment involves delivering 100 percent oxygen in our pressurized chambers to patients with certain injuries and medical conditions.
