BSA Advanced Wound Care

A wound or sore that will not heal is more than an irritation: It can affect the way you function each day. In some cases, a wound can be life threatening because of the risk of serious infection. As Amarillo's only wound care facility with three board certified wound care specialists, BSA Advanced Wound Care provides patients with a complete treatment program for chronic, non-healing wounds. Treatment may include a variety of therapies, debridement and education.

The clinic treats wounds associated with a variety of conditions, including:

• Diabetes
• Pressure Ulcers
• Trauma
• Non-healing Surgical Sites
• Immune Disorders
• Cancer
• Burns
• Bites
• Vascular Disorders

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

For HBO treatment, you will lie in one of our state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen chambers. The HBO chambers at BSA Advanced Wound Care utilize 100% oxygen under pressure to super saturate the blood and plasma with oxygen molecules. This super saturation of oxygen causes the body to grow more blood vessels and stimulates subsequent tissue growth. This growth occurs where there is a void in the body, such as a wound, thus healing wounds from the inside out. The most common wound indications for HBO are non-healing foot wounds, radiation injuries and certain types of bone infections.

Patients with the following conditions may benefit from HBOT:

• Diabetes and a wound that is slow to heal
• Damaged tissue from radiation therapy
• A skin graft with insufficient blood supply
• Certain infections of the bone and/or skin
• Anyone with a wound that has shown no improvement in four weeks

Comfort During Your Treatment

Each of our three chambers were designed with your comfort in mind. With their clear acrylic design, you will be able to easily communicate any needs during your treatment with our care team.

You will be able to:

• Watch a movie
• Talk with your technician
• Watch TV shows
