Hyperbaric Chamber: Get the Facts in 3 minutes

What is a hyperbaric chamber

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a method of treating diseases by inhaling pure oxygen in an environment with a pressure higher than normal atmospheric pressure. The principle of this treatment is to use the high-pressure environment to increase the oxygen concentration in the blood, thereby improving the body's oxygen supply, promoting tissue repair, and enhancing immunity.

We also have a detailed video to assist you with the installation, step by step.

Can I eat and drink in the hyperbaric chamber?

While it is possible to eat and drink in the hyperbaric chamber, it is not recommended for the sake of cleanliness, comfort, and overall effectiveness of the therapy. To ensure the best experience, it’s advisable to eat and drink before or after your session and keep the chamber environment as clean and distraction-free as possible. Always follow the specific guidelines provided by your clinic or healthcare provider to ensure a safe and effective treatment session.

Can I sleep in the hyperbaric chamber?

Yes, it's ok to sleep during treatment, but you cannot sleep a full night. It’s perfectly okay to sleep during a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session, it's important not to sleep for the entire night in the chamber. Limit your sleep to the length of the treatment (typically 60-90 minutes) to ensure your safety, comfort, and the effectiveness of the therapy. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you're unsure about the length or nature of your treatment session, and follow any specific guidelines the clinic or provider gives.

Can I wear metal jewelry in the hyperbaric chamber?

No, you must remove all metal objects, including jewelry, before entering the hyperbaric chamber. Wearing metal jewelry or carrying any metal items inside the chamber is strictly prohibited due to safety reasons. Here are the key reasons why:

•    Risk of Static Electricity

Metal objects, including jewelry, can create static electricity when exposed to the high-pressure environment inside the chamber. Static electricity can lead to sparks that may pose a fire hazard. Since oxygen levels inside the chamber are higher than normal, the presence of metal and static electricity significantly increases the risk of a fire starting, which can be very dangerous.

•  Oxygen Safety

Hyperbaric chambers are designed to deliver a higher concentration of oxygen to promote healing. Oxygen is highly flammable, and metal objects can act as conductors or cause friction that might ignite surrounding materials. In an environment where the oxygen concentration is elevated, any spark, including those from metal objects, can trigger an explosion or fire.

•  Potential Discomfort or Injury

Some types of metal jewelry, especially rings, bracelets, and watches, can be affected by the pressure inside the chamber. The pressure may cause discomfort, and in rare cases, prolonged exposure could even lead to injury or cause skin irritation, as the jewelry might shift or press uncomfortably against the skin.

•  Damage to Equipment

Certain metal objects might interfere with the chamber's sensitive equipment, such as monitoring devices, pressure gauges, or communication systems. Even small metal parts can disrupt the integrity of the chamber or its functions, compromising the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

What Can You Wear in the Hyperbaric Chamber?

l Non-Metallic Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that do not contain metal zippers, buttons, or embellishments. Cotton or synthetic fabrics are ideal.

l Plastic or Silicone Jewelry: If you prefer to wear accessories, consider wearing items made of plastic, silicone, or other non-metal materials that are safe inside the chamber.

l Eyewear: If you need glasses, make them from non-metallic frames. Alternatively, you can use contact lenses, if applicable.

How long is a session of hyperbaric chamber treatment?

One session treatment time is 60-90 minutes.
