NATROX® O₂: Continuous Topical Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Wound Healing

Animated image showing patient receiving NATROX O2 topical oxygen therapy in the clinic, how to use it, the device being put on the patient, then you see the patient at home while still receiving the therapy: she is chatting with friends, cooking dinner, taking the device off to take a shower, then swapping the battery at night before getting in bed to read a book. The animation ends with an image of the NATROX O2 product and text on screen saying

NATROX® O₂ is a wearable, battery-powered device designed to continuously deliver topical oxygen directly to a wound 24/7 to promote and enhance healing. Wound types that could benefit from supplementary oxygen include diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure injuries and non-healing surgical wounds.

How can NATROX® O₂ help my wounds heal?

Why oxygen is essential for wound healing

Oxygen is critical to healing. When a wound has low levels of oxygen, the healing process can stop. Evidence shows adding topical oxygen to a wound can help kickstart and improve healing.

NATROX® O₂ delivers oxygen directly to your wound

NATROX® O₂ sends oxygen directly to the wound bed. Patients wear it 24/7 non-stop so the wound can get the oxygen it needs to support healing. NATROX® O₂ is intended for use on complex, slow healing, or non-healing wounds.

Clinical evidence: 71% greater chance of healing vs. standard care

Many studies show greater healing using NATROX® O₂. In fact, recent studies show a 71% greater chance of healing using NATROX® O₂ topical oxygen therapy5. Treatment time varies by patient.

Designed to empower patients to
live their normal lives while treating challenging wounds.

Life keeps moving, and so should you.

Types of wounds that benefit most from NATROX® O₂ wound care therapy include:

Diabetic foot ulcer

Diabetic
foot ulcers

A Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a break in the skin of the foot associated with neuropathy and/or peripheral artery disease (PAD) in people with diabetes mellitus. Local oxygen deficiency increases the risk of non-healing ulcers, infection, and major limb amputation. NATROX® O₂ helps restore the oxygen needed to support wound repair.
Leg ulcer

Venous
leg ulcers

Venous leg ulcers are hard to heal wounds that result from prolonged chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). NATROX® O₂ acts as a powerful adjunct to gold-standard compression, restoring optimal oxygen tension to stalled wounds.

Pressure injury

Pressure
injuries

Pressure injuries are caused by sustained pressure on an area of the body. This pressure can severely restrict blood supply to tissue, leading to a lack of oxygen and an injury/wound. When NATROX® O₂ is used as part of a pressure injury management strategy, oxygen is delivered directly to the wound, supporting the healing process.

Open surgical wound

Non-healing
surgical wounds

Surgical wound dehiscence occurs when a surgical incision fails to heal properly and reopens, typically due to an infection. NATROX® O₂ delivers topical oxygen directly to the wound, which can help tissue repair and help the body fight infection in the wound.

…or wounds that fail to respond to standard of care

Easy to use for advanced wound care results

Patients can even apply it from home.

Is NATROX® O₂ right for you?

NATROX® O₂ may be suitable if you have a chronic wound such as a diabetic foot ulcer, venous leg ulcer, pressure injury, or non-healing surgical wound that hasn’t responded to standard treatment. It is prescribed by your clinical team and designed to be worn at home without disrupting daily life. Consult with your clinical team to ask if NATROX® O₂ could help heal your wound.
