Utah Valley Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center
A new eight-person hyperbaric chamber at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center is now bringing the power of 100 percent oxygen to Utah County residents in need of its healing power. The chamber is the first in the county.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the process of providing 100 percent oxygen to damaged body tissues under pressure to promote the healing of the tissues, reduce swelling and improve circulation. Patients receive pure oxygen at the same pressure as diving 33 to 66 feet below sea level in a special chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has proven beneficial in treating wounds that have difficulty healing, carbon monoxide poisoning, tissue damage from radiation, wounds caused by crushing injuries and bone and soft tissue infections.
The hyperbaric chamber at Utah Valley Regional is a nine-foot diameter, six-atmosphere, double-lock chamber. It is the third chamber is the state and the only one located between Salt Lake City and St. George, which means residents from Lehi to Santaquin as well as throughout southwestern Utah will have the healing power of hyperbaric medicine located closer to home.
