Claims10
A method of administering oxygen to a body site comprising:
- providing an aqueous solution having a dissolved oxygen level of 18 mg/L or greater;
- containing the aqueous solution in a receptacle suitable for at least partially submerging a portion of a body part;
- applying the aqueous solution to the body part for a period of time allowing for oxygen transfer between the aqueous solution and at least some of the tissue over the body part,
- removing the aqueous solution from contact with the body part, wherein the transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen within a portion of the body part is elevated.
