Our Research
At the Judy Dan Research and Treatment Centre, we have participated in studies on:
- 1
- Effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in healing diabetic wounds and preventing amputations.
- 2
- Detection and identification of bacteria in wounds using auto-flourescense and imaging.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can expedite the healing of certain types of chronic, non-healing wounds, such as diabetic wounds, as well as reduce patient suffering, disability and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and amputations.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy (HBOT):
How it works
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves administering 100% oxygen to patients in a specially constructed chamber. The atmospheric pressure is increased two to three times normal for 90 minutes per session. This has the effect of:
- Increasing vastly the oxygen concentration of the patient’s blood.
- Saturating the wound with oxygen.
- Enabling cells to function that fight infection and repair wounds.
