Limb Bagging Ozone Insufflation London
Limb Bagging Ozone Insufflation is a localised form of ozone therapy in which a sealed bag is placed over an arm or leg and filled with medical grade ozone gas. The ozone is absorbed through the skin of the enclosed limb, producing powerful local antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerating effects directly at the site of treatment. At Proback Clinic in Victoria, Central London we offer Limb Bagging as a standalone treatment and as part of a broader ozone therapy protocol.

What Is Limb Bagging Used For?
Limb Bagging Ozone Insufflation is particularly well suited to conditions affecting the skin, circulation and soft tissue of the limbs:
- Chronic or non-healing wounds: Ozone’s antimicrobial and tissue-stimulating properties accelerate healing in wounds that have failed to respond to conventional treatment.
- Diabetic foot and diabetic wounds: One of the strongest clinical applications for Limb Bagging, where poor circulation and infection risk make wound healing particularly challenging.
- Venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers
- Peripheral vascular disease: Improving local oxygenation and circulation in compromised limb tissue.
- Fungal skin infections: Ozone’s antifungal properties are highly effective when delivered locally via the bag.
- Chronic skin conditions with an inflammatory or infectious component
- Post-surgical wound complications
- Lymphoedema: Ozone’s anti-inflammatory and circulatory properties may help reduce swelling and improve tissue quality.
- Sports injuries and soft tissue recovery: Improving local oxygenation and reducing inflammation in specific areas of the limb.
How Does It Work?
A specially designed, sealed plastic bag is placed over the affected limb—typically the foot, leg or arm. The bag is sealed around the limb to create an airtight environment. Medical-grade ozone gas is then pumped into the bag at a carefully calibrated concentration, where it surrounds and permeates the limb tissue. The ozone is absorbed through the skin into the superficial tissue layers, exerting direct antimicrobial effects against bacteria or fungi present at or near the wound or skin surface. It simultaneously stimulates the local cellular antioxidant response, improves microcirculation and promotes tissue granulation and healing. Unlike systemic ozone routes, the effects are concentrated locally in the treated limb, making this an ideal approach where the goal is targeted local tissue treatment rather than a systemic effect. Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes.
What to Expect at Your Session
The procedure is completely comfortable and non-invasive. You simply sit or lie comfortably while the sealed bag is placed over the affected limb and filled with ozone. You will not feel any discomfort – the most common sensation is a very mild warmth within the bag. There is no pain, no needles and no recovery period, so you can resume all normal activities immediately after your session. For wound treatment over broken or sensitive skin surfaces, the ozone environment within the bag is actually soothing, and patients often report a reduction in discomfort during the session.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
For wound healing and diabetic foot presentations, a course of 10 to 20 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks is typically recommended, with sessions ideally 3 to 5 times per week during the initial phase. For skin conditions and circulatory presentations, a course of 8 to 12 sessions is usually sufficient. Your practitioner will recommend a personalised protocol during your consultation based on your specific condition and its severity.

Whilst working on her dad’s farm, 17 years ago, Sandra heard a loud crack in her back. Sandra had 6 steroid injections. She tried Physiotherapy, acupuncture and more but nothing helped.
