Hyperbaric Medicine & Advanced Wound Care
We specialize in wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
At CoxHealth, we’re committed to providing you with great care, dignity and respect. Every consideration is given to accommodate your physical, spiritual and emotional needs as part of the healing process. We offer wound care and hyperbaric medicine in Springfield and Branson, Missouri. These services are by referral only.
Our Services Include:
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
100% oxygen delivered in a pressurized chamber to stimulate healing, fight infection, and support tissue regeneration.
Advanced Wound Care
- Surgical and enzymatic debridement
- Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT/Wound VAC)
- Cellular and tissue-based products (skin substitutes)
- Compression and offloading therapy
- Infection management and wound staging
Transcutaneous Oxygen Measurement (TCOM)
A non-invasive test that measures oxygen delivery at the skin level to assess wound healing potential and determine HBOT candidacy. TCOM is essential for individualized care plans and insurance qualification for hyperbaric therapy.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
We coordinate closely with vascular surgery, infectious disease, podiatry, and inpatient hospitalist teams to provide full-spectrum wound care.
Patient Education & Follow-Up
Tailored wound care guidance, blood sugar management support, and continuity of care after discharge or surgery.
Wound Assessment and Treatment
Our highly-trained staff provide a complete assessment of your wound and discuss health factors that may affect the healing process. We’ll review your needs, including wound care products, assistive or off-loading devices and wound care at home. Our approach may include wound care management, appropriate therapies and services, as well as wellness and prevention education.
