Wound care
Wound care involves medical interventions to heal a wound after injury. Specialized treatment is provided for wounds that are nonhealing or refuse to heal on their own. A vital aspect of treatment includes learning how to properly dress and care for a wound.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
HCA Florida Mercy Hospital is pleased to offer hyperbaric medicine, an extremely effective medical treatment when combined with standard medical and/or surgical care.
HBOT delivers pure oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure in a specially equipped medical device called a hyperbaric chamber. This allows more oxygen to be dissolved in the blood plasma and absorbed by the body's tissue, promoting healing and significantly improving treatment success in a variety of clinical situations.
