An apparatus and method for facilitating transdermal oxygen delivery is disclosed in one embodiment of the invention as including a supply source coupled to a delivery device. The supply source may provide a supply of oxygen that may be delivered transdermally through the skin of a patient via the delivery device. In selected embodiments, the delivery device may include a barrier layer to substantially retain the oxygen over a localized area of skin, and a gas-permeable contact layer to deliver the oxygen to the localized area. Finally, a transport enhancement element may increase the oxygen permeability of the localized area. |
