Uncompromising composite hyperbaric oxygen chamber closes the gap

• An established medical procedure, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), temporarily delivers pure oxygen to a patient under higher-than-atmospheric pressure, enabling blood to carry more oxygen, which, in turn, helps fight infection, stimulates release of growth factors and stem cells and speeds healing. Most notably used to treat divers afflicted with decompression sickness (the “bends”), it’s employed routinely to treat altitude sickness, severe anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning and many other medical conditions — and to enhance the performance of elite athletes.
