The hyperbaric chamber is an airtight enclosure where we can increase the pressure allowing us to administer pure oxygen. It is a therapeutic procedure, which was initially used in the treatment of diving accidents and for a period of time this was the most well known application.

In actuality it is the most widely chosen treatment for diving condition patients and certain acute cases and a very efficient technique for other chronic conditions when associated with traditional treatments. The hyperbaric chamber has a multitude of possible applications in the following areas:

• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• Decompression Illness
• Over-Pressure Pulmonary Syndrome and Air Embolisms
• Sudden Hypoacusis (Loss of Hearing)
• Central Retinal Artery / Vein Occlusion
• Clostridial Myonecrosis (Gas Gangrene) and Necrotising Soft Tissue Infections
• Refractory Osteomyelitis and Osteoradionecrosis (Radiation Tissue Damage)
• Non-healing Grafts and Reattached Limbs
• Problem Diabetic Wounds
