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.

Our treatments include:

Misonix 
This is an advanced ultrasonic surgical system used for precise wound debridement and tissue removal, helping treat chronic wounds and support various surgical procedures. It minimizes pain, preserves healthy tissue, and promotes faster healing with reduced infection risk. 

Casting 
Casting is used to offload pressure from chronic wounds, like diabetic foot ulcers, promoting healing by redistributing weight and stabilizing the affected area. When combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it enhances tissue repair by improving oxygen delivery and reducing mechanical stress.

Cellular tissue products 
Biologic grafts — often derived from placental or dermal sources — used to promote healing in chronic wounds. When paired with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, they enhance tissue regeneration by delivering growth factors and supporting cellular repair.

Incision and drainage
Incision and drainage is a minor surgical procedure used to treat abscesses or fluid-filled infections by relieving pressure and removing accumulated material. When combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it supports faster healing, reduces infection risk and improves oxygen delivery to damaged tissue. Ideally in patients with chronic or non-healing wounds.
