Transdermal Continuous Oxygen Therapy

Physical Rehabilitation Therapy

Transdermal Continuous Oxygen Therapy is a wound closure technique for chronic and acute wounds that blankets a wound in oxygen on a 24 hour basis until the wound heals. Unlike hyperbaric oxygen or sporadic topical oxygen treatments, it delivers continuous, localized treatment to the affected wound area alone rather than systemic exposure.
