Our Approach To Wound Care
BVC Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is a specialty outpatient clinic dedicated to treating many types of non-healing wounds. However, saving patients from unnecessary or avoidable lower limb amputations is our mission. Amputations related to the complications of peripheral arterial disease, or diabetes mellitus, are the most common cause of lower-extremity amputations. Approximately 50,000-60,000 major lower-extremity amputations are performed each year in the U.S. as a result of diabetes-related complications.
Why Patients Choose Us
We utilize the most up-to-date approaches to wound healing and we remain current on new scientific advances in wound care.

We treat various wound types
The staff at BVC Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is here to help you take charge of your non-healing wound using effective treatment options that are tailored to your diagnosis. Our team of experts treats conditions such as:
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous leg ulcers
- Pressure sores
- Non-healing skin grafts
- Wounds involving bone or soft tissue infections
Services
Because every patient is unique, we will begin with a thorough assessment to determine the underlying cause of your wound and then implement a treatment plan. Treatments/interventions may include:
- Special tests of circulation
- X-ray or other imaging
- Debridement (removal of dead tissue)
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
- Special dressings or devices to help heal the wound
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which the patient breathes 100% pure oxygen while inside of a pressurized chamber. The pressure inside of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber is about two-and-a-half times greater than the normal pressure in the atmosphere. This high-pressure dose of oxygen helps your blood carry more oxygen to your organs and tissues to promote wound healing. It also activates the white blood cells to fight infection.
Wounds and conditions that are commonly treated with HBOT include, but are not limited to:
- Chronic bone infections
- Compromised skin grafts or flaps
- Diabetic lower extremity wounds
- Late effects of radiation (bony and soft tissue)
If you are a candidate for HBOT, a staff member will tell you how many treatments you will need. Before beginning your treatment, you will be given 100% cotton clothing to wear in the chamber. No cosmetics, perfumes, hair preparations, deodorants, wigs, jewelry, or electronic devices are allowed in the chamber (most pacemakers are allowed).
Most treatments last about two hours. During treatment, you may watch television, a movie or take a nap
