Wound Care
High tech healing
Wounds that are chronic and difficult to heal are the focus of the outpatient Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine. In fact, Tri-City Medical Center has the only nationally certified wound care physician in San Diego County, one of only three in the state of California.
Healing treatment plans are determined by a multi-disciplinary, physician-based clinic working in conjunction with your primary care physician. Many services are available, including a complete medical evaluation, patient education, non-invasive vascular testing, wound treatments and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as needed.

What kinds of conditions improve with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
- Chronic, non-healing wounds
- Diabetic foot wounds
- Osteomyelitis
- Radiation tissue damage
- Compromised skin grafts and flaps
What can HBOT do for your patients?
- It increases the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the blood, which enhances cellular oxygenation
- It stimulated the formation of a collagen matrix so that new blood vessels may develop
- It promotes the growth of new blood vessels in areas with problematic perfusion
- It replaces inert gas in the bloodstream with oxygen, which is then metabolized by the body
- It works as a bactericide
How does treatment occur?
Patients breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber for 90-120 minutes, five times per week, over a prescribed treatment course, typically 20-40 sessions. Angiogenesis and fibroplasia generally develop in response to HBOT when given at 2.0-2.4 atmospheric pressure.
