Description
A world leader in Hyperbaric DesignMild Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (MHBOT)
The Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber, Home & Commercial model: Designed with the same technology NASA uses in its space suits for world class performance. Compact on the outside, spacious and comfortable on the inside.
Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy, is the medicinal use of oxygen at higher than atmospheric pressure. Hyper means increased and baric relates to pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) refers to intermittent use as the entire body receives oxygen levels greater than normal atmospheric pressure. Commonly, we breathe approximately 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen. While undergoing HBOT, pressure is increased safely up to as high as 95% oxygen. The increased pressure, combined with an increase in oxygen, dissolves the oxygen in the blood plasma and in all body cells, tissues and fluids at up to 10 times normal concentration.
Essentially, this type of therapy forces oxygen into cells safely and causes metabolic waste to leave cells more efficiently. This improves cellular metabolism as vital oxygen is conveyed to even some of the most obscure and hard to access tissues in the body, including the brain.
Why is it done?
Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is used to treat several medical conditions. And medical institutions use it in different ways. Your doctor may suggest hyperbaric oxygen therapy if you have one of the following conditions:
Anemia, severe
Brain abscess
Bubbles of air in your blood vessels (arterial gas embolism)
Burn
Decompression sickness
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Crushing injury
Deafness, sudden
Gangrene
Infection of skin or bone that causes tissue death
Non-healing wounds, such as a diabetic foot ulcer
Radiation injury
Skin graft or skin flap at risk of tissue death
Vision loss, sudden and painless
