Wound Evolution - Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine is a wound care practice founded by Han Pham Hulen, MD, with offices in Texas, Kansas and Arkansas. Its San Antonio office provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy onsite as an outpatient procedure, alongside wound treatments such as debridement, compression therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, bioengineered skin grafts and total contact casting. The clinic lists diabetic wounds of the lower extremities, chronic refractory osteomyelitis, compromised skin grafts and flaps, and radiation injuries such as osteoradionecrosis among the conditions it treats with HBOT.

Planning your visit
Patients can book an appointment online or contact the San Antonio office. At the evaluation, the specialists assess the wound and recommend approximately how many HBOT treatments are needed; the number depends on the type and severity of the wound and how it responds to the first treatment, and most patients need multiple treatments. Before treatment, patients are asked to remove hair products and petroleum-based skin products and to hand over their cell phone and other electronics. During the session the patient sits or lies on an exam table with a lightweight mask or hood that delivers oxygen for approximately two hours, and staff monitor the patient and the therapy unit throughout. Ears may pop as the pressure rises; yawning or swallowing can relieve this. The clinic says HBOT should not be considered for patients with untreated pneumothorax, a collapsed lung, certain types of lung disease or recent ear surgery, or who are pregnant.
