Hyperbaric oxygen chamber with 10 litre oxygen concentrator and compressor

Rated to 1.5 Atmospheres We run a hyperbaric oxygen clinic in Taranaki and are importers for these chambers. For more info on us please visit http://www.o2plus.net.nz WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY? Hyper means greater than normal, baric means pressure. Oxygen is a colourless, odourless gas that is very important to the energy pathways of your cells and therapy is a treatment that is meant to cure or rehabilitate. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which the patient breathes 100% oxygen intermittently, while inside a treatment chamber that is specially pressurised to be greater than the normal outside pressure (i.e. 1 atmosphere absolute or ATA). Breathing oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure causes oxygen to be dissolved in your blood plasma and increases its availability to your body's tissues and cells. HBOT is an "adjunctive treatment" for the majority of indications.

The mainstream and hospital-based uses for HBOT include the following: Air or gas embolism Carbon monoxide poisoning Acute traumatic ischemia Exceptional blood loss Cyanide poisoning Decompression illness (bends?) Clostridial myonecrosis Radiation proctitis Some non-healing wounds Gas gangrene Necrotizing infections Some cases of osteomyelitis Radiation-induced tissue damage Compromised grafts and skin flaps Burns Compartment syndrome There are a growing number of extra conditions that may respond to increased oxygen levels. For many of these the level of scientific proof is limited or anecdotal. These include: Cerebral palsy Stroke Multiple sclerosis Head injuries and concussion Mycoplasma + Lymes disease Before and after surgery Chronic fatigue ADD/ADHD Sports injuries Autism Migraine Parkinsons disease Trigeminal neuralgia Raynaud's phenomenon Vascular disease Crohn' Fibromyalgia Decreased immune function Venomous bites ? Retinal artery occlusion
