About AOTI

Advanced Oxygen Therapy, Inc. (AOTI) is transforming the future of wound care through breakthrough technologies that improve the lives of patients with chronic non-healing and acute complex wounds.

At the heart of our mission is our patented, multimodality Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) therapy, the only device of its kind proven effective in both Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and Real-World Evidence (RWE) studies. TWO2 has delivered exceptional clinical outcomes, including an 88% reduction in hospitalizations and a 71% reduction in amputations among patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) over 12 months.

In addition to TWO2, we offer the NEXA™ NPWT System, an innovative, multi-week, multi-patient Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) device designed to deliver the clinical benefits of traditional durable systems with the convenience and simplicity of disposable solutions.

Backed by a world-class international leadership team and a robust global infrastructure, AOTI offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact in healthcare.

If you're driven by purpose and want to be part of a company that’s transforming wound care, we’d love to hear from you.
