An enclosure apparatus for treating infected and non-infected wounds from skin burns comprising enclosure means for enclosing a patient being treated for infected and non-infected skin burn wounds in a sterile environment, conduit means coupled to said enclosure means for introducing a gas flow into said enclosure means, said conduit means having a fan means for creating a positive pressure of said gas flow in said conduit means, first supply means being in fluid communication with said conduit means for introducing increased oxygen concentration to said gas flow for delivering to said enclosure means a gas flow having increased oxygen levels sufficient to increase the healing process of the burn injuries of the patient, said first supply means having oxygen valve means for controlling the oxygen concentration in said gas flow, second supply means for supplying air to said fan means for creating said gas flow to said enclosure means through said conduit means, said second supply means having air valve means for controlling the introduction of air to said conduit means, third supply means for supplying a mist of liquid to said fan means for adjusting the humidity level of said gas flow to said enclosure through said conduit means, said third supply means having liquid valve means controlling the introduction of mist to said conduit means, control means for respectively monitoring the concentration of oxygen of said gas flow, the flow rate of said gas flow, and the humidity level of said gas flow, said control means having a plurality of detectors in said conduit means for respectively controlling said oxygen valve means, said air valve means, and said liquid valve means, a HEPA filter being mounted in said conduit means for removing bacteria particles and particulate material from said gas flow for maintaining a sterile environment in said enclosure means, and said control means further sensing the pressure drop across said HEPA filter for maintaining a predetermined gas flow into said enclosure means.
