Hyperbaric Medicine
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy — breathing 100% oxygen at a pressure greater than the surrounding atmosphere — helps accelerate healing by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels, tissue and bone cells.
At the Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Sarasota Campus, our Hyperbaric Medicine team uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treating a variety of non- emergent medical conditions, including:
- Diabetic non-healing ulcer
- Osteomyelitis (refractory)
- Osteoradionecrosis
- Actinomycosis
- Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
- Arterial insufficiencies
- Central retinal artery occlusion
- Compromised grafts and flaps
Led by Medical Director Peter Graper, MD, who's board certified in cardiac/thoracic surgery and undersea and hyperbaric medicine, the Hyperbaric Medicine Department has 2 climate-controlled hyperbaric chambers.
