Hyperbaric therapy delivers transformative results across a remarkable range of human and animal applications.
Broad Applications. Transformative Results.
From the operating room to the training room, from the racetrack to the research lab and beyond- hyperbaric therapy is one of modern medicine's most versatile and powerful tools.
A hyperbaric chamber raises air pressure above normal atmospheric pressure so a patient can breathe close to 100% oxygen at depth. It is used for medical hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), decompression sickness treatment for divers and tunnel workers, veterinary care, and scientific research.
Which industries use hyperbaric chambers?
Hyperbaric chambers are used by hospitals and wound care clinics, wellness centers, professional sports and equine sports medicine, tunneling and mining contractors, universities and government research agencies, and the military.
What is the difference between a hyperbaric chamber and a hypobaric chamber?
A hyperbaric chamber increases pressure above sea level, while a hypobaric chamber reduces pressure to simulate high altitude. Hyperbaric chambers are used mainly for treatment; hypobaric chambers are used for aircrew altitude training, aerospace research and equipment testing.
