• delayed radiation injury to soft tissue and bone
• some necrotizing soft tissue infections
• selected problem wounds including non-healing diabetic wounds
• clostridial myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
• decompression illness including gas embolism
• acute carbon monoxide poisoning (such as that suffered after                 severe smoke inhalation)
• crush injury and other acute traumatic ischaemias
• compromised surgical flaps and grafts
• refractory osteomyelitis
• thermal burns

(Please note:  We do not treat, consult or advise on any conditions other than those listed above, all of which are backed by Level One medical research and approved by UHMS - the primary source of scientific information for hyperbaric medicine physiology worldwide.)

• HBO speeds up wound healing by promoting the growth of new capillaries (angiogenesis) and, subsequently, the growth of new healthy tissue.
• HBO reduces infection by killing bacteria directly and by increasing the capacity of white blood cells to fight infection and eliminate the waste products of bacterial invasion.
• HBO enhances the effect of some antibiotics.
• HBO reduces the swelling that develops as a consequence of infection, poor circulation and injury.

The centre operates a multi-place hyperbaric chamber that comfortably seats up to 8 patients in the main room with a smaller chamber that can take one or two patients at a time.

Each year we perform 5000 - 6000 hyperbaric treatments for patients from all over Queensland and Northern NSW as well as conducting advanced hyperbaric medical research and participating in international research projects such as the multi-centre, international, Project HORTIS (Hyperbaric Oxygen Radiation Tissue Injury Study).

Our facility is headed by Doctor Bob Long, an internationally recognised expert in hyperbaric and dive medicine, as well as a highly trained team of specialised doctors, nurses and hyperbaric technicians.
