Overview
Hyperbaric chambers are used to administer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), non-invasive procedure in which the patient breathes 100% oxygen. The patient is enclosed in a transparent chamber with an increase in atmospheric pressure, enabling a concentrated delivery of oxygen to damaged tissue for optimized healing.
