Welcome to Our Center

Spring Hill Regional Hospital Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine Center provides specialized, comprehensive, state-of-the-art wound care services – utilizing advanced wound-care techniques, products, services and education – to heal your wound.

Our multi-disciplinary team of physicians and clinicians are trained in the latest advances in wound care & hyperbaric medicine, having successfully completed extensive training at a nationally-accredited training site.

Working Together for You

Every wound is unique. You, your physician and the Center team will work together to help you achieve the best-possible wound care results. While the causes of chronic non-healing wounds can be complex, our group of specially-trained wound-care physicians and clinicians provide the expertise necessary to meet your specific needs.

We will develop a personalized treatment plan. Whatever it takes for healing to occur, we’re equipped and staffed to make it happen. Your primary care physician will continue to manage your overall medical needs while we keep him or her updated as to your wound care progress at the Center.

Types of Wounds Treated

Our Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine team provides advanced treatments for wounds which have resisted traditional forms of care. These wounds include:

Diabetic foot ulcers
Lower leg ulcers
Pressure ulcers
Bone infection (osteomyelitis)
Gangrene
Radiation wounds
Post-operative infections/incisions
Burns
Traumatic injuries
Compromised skin grafts & flaps
Any wound that has not shown signs of improvement in 30 days.

Resources and Modalities:

We utilize the most up-to-date resources and treatment modalities which include:

Transcutaneous oxygen measurement (TCPO2) which determines the level of oxygen available at the wound site to promote healing.

Doppler evaluation of pulses which determines the among of blood flow (circulation) available to transport nutrients and medications to the wound.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) which involves placing the patient into a mono-place HBOT chamber which is hyper-oxygenated with 100% oxygen at 2.0 or 2.5 times atmospheric pressure. HBOT increases the among of oxygen in your blood, allowing oxygen levels in your tissues to increase. It also increases circulation to the wound site(s), promotes healing, fights infection and expedites the overall healing process.

Wound dressings, including bio-engineered dressings, are specialized products which are often used – based upon your individualized treatment needs – to promote and expedite the healing process of the wound.

Wound debridement is a minor procedure, performed in the Center, which promotes the growth of healthy tissue at the site of your wound.

Our Wound Healing Center is staffed and equipped to address your medical needs, with most treatments covered by Medicare/Medicaid and other insurance plans.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment which increases the amount of oxygen concentration in the patient’s blood, allowing the oxygen to pass through the plasma and tissues into your wound(s) to expedite the treatment process. HBOT chambers surround you with 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. Those who benefit from hyperbaric treatments include those with:

Diabetic ulcers of the lower extremities
Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
Compromised skin grafts
Osteoradionecrosis
Progressive necrotizing infections
Actinomycosis
Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
Soft tissue radionecrosis
Crush injuries
Gas gangrene

Non-wound care indications
Acute CO intoxication
Decompression illness
Gas embolism
Cyanide poisoning

What to Bring on Your First Visit

A list of any medications you’re currently taking, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements.

A list of your allergies.

Any medical records, including x-rays, if you have them in your possession.

What Should I Wear

As safety is our priority, we will provide our HBOT patients with clothing to wear during the actual treatment. Please DO NOT wear any of the following items when you come to the Center for your treatments:

• nail polish
• skin lotions
• Vaseline-based products
• perfume, cologne or aftershave

How Long Do Treatments Last

Treatments generally last about two hours, which includes the time needed to pressurize and depressurize the chamber, in addition to the prescribed treatment depth. 

The number of treatments is not pre-determined, since each patient responds differently to the therapy depending on his or her medical condition. The average number of treatments to heal a patient with a problem wound may range from 20-40. Treatments are provided Mondays-Fridays.  if you have diabetes, please make sure you eat prior to your treatment. If your sinuses are congested, or if you feel ill, please inform the HBOT technician so we can make you more comfortable. 

Your daily therapy will be supervised by physicians and clinicians specially trained in hyperbaric medicine.

Your Role and Commitment

Much of the overall success of your treatment depends on YOU. Your commitment and active participation are essential to successful treatment and the achievement of the desired healing outcome. Please discuss any concerns you may have with your Wound Care Team, as we are here to provide you the resources and support  you need throughout the treatment process.

Wound Care Patient History

Before initiating treatment, our wound care team of physicians and clinicians will thoroughly evaluate your wound and review your health and medical history in detail.

Tests may be performed/ordered to tell us more about your blood flow and tissue oxygenation, as well as to determine if infection is present.

Together with your Wound Care physician, we’ll develop a treatment program specific to your individualized medical needs, based up our assessment. This will likely involve regular visits to the Center, where your progress will be meticulously documented and care will be adjusted as necessary.

We will be in constant communication with your doctor throughout your care at the Center. Once your wound is healed, you will return to your doctor for follow-up care and continued treatment for any related medical ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, etc.
