The Numobag® is based on the efficacy of a technique, Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (THOT®) to selectively stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, and promote rapid healing of wounds by adequately supplying oxygen in the wound healing process.  This technology selectively induces the growth of new blood vessels without scar tissue formation and  maybe used to heal a wide variety of wounds, including those from infections, surgery, trauma and vascular insufficiency.

(a) Third degree burns caused by a boiling oil spill on the left hand that caught fire.

(b) Healing following one week treatment with the Numobag®.

(c) and (d) are two views showing complete healing following 3 weeks of Numobag® (12 treatments). Although there is loss of pigment due to the depth of the burn, there is no clinical scarring, no loss of sensation, and no loss of function.
