Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps
OHIP-covered HBOT to rescue compromised skin grafts and surgical flaps at risk of failure.
Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps
Understanding Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps
When a skin graft or reconstructive flap is compromised — due to poor blood supply, infection, or necrosis — HBOT can significantly improve the probability of salvage and reduce the extent of loss.
Signs & Symptoms:
- Graft or flap pallor, cyanosis, or sluggish capillary refill
- Partial or complete graft/flap failure
- Signs of infection at graft or flap site
- Poor wound bed with inadequate vascularity
- Prior radiation at the recipient site
Why Modern Medical
Your Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps Treatment Team
Tissue Preservation
HBOT delivers oxygen to ischemic tissue at risk, preserving viable cells and reducing the extent of tissue loss following injury or surgery.
Surgical Support
HBOT is used pre- and post-operatively to optimize tissue oxygen levels, improving graft take rates and accelerating wound healing.
State-of-the-Art Facility
Treatments are delivered in our new 7,000 ft² facility with Perry Sigma monoplace chambers, big-screen entertainment, and a dedicated sound system.
The Science
How HBOT Treats Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps
HBOT dramatically increases oxygen delivery to ischemic graft and flap tissue, reducing cellular death and promoting angiogenesis. It creates a survival zone at the margins of hypoxic tissue, improving graft ‘take’ rates and reducing the area requiring re-grafting.
Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps is one of 14 OHIP-approved indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Treatment at Modern Medical is fully covered — no upfront costs to patients with a physician referral.
