The mechanism of operation of oxygen cells
Oxygen chambers operate on the principle of increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the body. Under normal conditions, oxygen is transported through the blood using hemoglobin. However, under conditions of increased pressure, oxygen dissolves directly in all body fluids, such as blood plasma or lymph, which allows it to reach all areas of the body, including those with limited blood flow, such as cartilage, joints, bone marrow or the eyeball. This phenomenon is particularly beneficial in the case of chronic wounds, where blood supply is often impaired.
Increasing the amount of oxygen in the tissues
The increased pressure in the oxygen chamber allows for more oxygen to be delivered to the tissues at a faster rate. Oxygen is essential for the proper functioning of cells and metabolic processes, which are key to tissue regeneration.
High oxygen concentration promotes the production of collagen, which is the basic building block of skin and connective tissue. This allows wounds to heal faster and more effectively.
Reduction of swelling and inflammation
Oxygen capsule therapy also has anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous properties. Increased oxygen helps reduce swelling by reducing the permeability of blood vessels and improving lymphatic drainage. Additionally,
oxygen has a bactericidal effect, which reduces the risk of infection and helps fight existing infections.
Stimulation of angiogenesis
Angiogenesis, or the process of creating new capillaries, is crucial for the regeneration of damaged tissue.
Oxygen chambers stimulate angiogenesis by increasing the availability of oxygen, which promotes the creation of new blood vessels. By improving blood supply, cells are supplied with the optimal amount of oxygen for themselves and metabolic components are properly removed, which significantly accelerates the healing process.
Clinical use of oxygen chambers
Oxygen chambers are used to treat many types of wounds, including diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, post-operative wounds, and burns. Hyperbaric therapy is also used for sports injuries and in the treatment of some chronic diseases.
