Radiation Damage & Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen
Radiation injury is damage to soft tissue and bone following radiation therapy caused by ischemia, interruption of blood supply and direct cell damage.
- Hyperbaric oxygen increases tissue radio sensitivity enhancing the effect of radiation and chemo therapy.
- Hyperbaric oxygen enhances the immune system.
- Hyperbaric oxygen prevents delayed radiation injuries, swelling and wounds.
- Hyperbaric oxygen improves bone remodelling by stimulation of new bone growth and removal of necrotic bone.
- Hyperbaric oxygen promotes new vascular growth creating favourable conditions for skin or bone grafts or implants.
- Hyperbaric oxygen prevents infection, inflammation and improves oxygenation of entire body.
- Prophylaxis – prevention of development of delayed radiation injury and damage.
