Brief summary
The objective is to define patient eligibility for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and to evaluate wound healing progression using a new hyperspectral imaging technology.
Detailed description
The purpose of this clinical study is to define patient eligibility for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and to evaluate wound healing progression during HBOT using a new hyperspectral imaging technology (OxyVu).
