Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a therapeutic option in cochlear implants extrusion treatment in infected wounds

A novel treatment for CI extrusion with vacuum-assisted closure device

“…Despite numerous advances, wound management continues to be challenging as the process of cutaneous wound healing is complex, dependent on an intricate interplay between highly regulated factors (Han and Ceilley, 2017). Various options utilized to optimize healing in soft tissue infections with device extrusion include the use of medical grade honey in paediatric patients (Costeloe et al, 2018) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Clarós et al, 2020). Of note, Sanford et al demonstrated hyperbaric oxygen therapy possessed a degree of biofim killing capability (Sanford et al, 2018).…”
