Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Advancing Wound Healing Care

Diabetic foot ulcers are among the most complex complications of diabetes, often leading to prolonged healing, infection, and reduced quality of life. When conventional wound care alone is not enough, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has emerged as an important supportive treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing capacity.

At Medinglobal, we help patients access evidence-based HBOT as part of a structured, medically supervised wound care approach.

Why Diabetic Foot Ulcers Heal Slowly

Diabetes can impair blood circulation and nerve function, limiting oxygen delivery to injured tissues. Oxygen plays a critical role in collagen formation, immune response, and tissue repair. Without sufficient oxygen, wounds may remain chronic and difficult to heal.

How HBOT Supports Healing

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized medical chamber. This increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood plasma, reaching areas where circulation may be compromised.

HBOT may support healing by:

• Improving oxygen availability in chronic wounds
• Stimulating new blood vessel formation
• Enhancing the body’s ability to fight infection
• Reducing inflammation and tissue swelling

When integrated with standard wound care and diabetes management, HBOT can improve outcomes in selected non-healing ulcers.

What Patients Can Expect

HBOT sessions typically last between 60 and 90 minutes. Treatment plans are individualized based on wound severity, overall health, and medical assessment. Patients are monitored throughout the session by trained professionals.

Safety and Clinical Oversight

HBOT is non-invasive and generally well tolerated when delivered in certified facilities under medical supervision. A thorough evaluation ensures therapy is appropriate and safe for each patient.

Medinglobal’s Role

Medinglobal supports patients by facilitating access to accredited HBOT centers and coordinating care pathways focused on safety, clarity, and continuity of treatment.
