Questions & Answers About HBOT
Portable Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chambers
HBOT is an abbreviation for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment which enhances the body’s natural healing process by delivering oxygen under pressure, increasing the oxygen content in the blood and in the cerebral spinal fluid.

HBOT is FDA approved to treat air or gas embolism, altitude sickness, carbon monoxide & cyanide poisoning, crush injury & acute traumatic ischemia, decompression sickness, delayed radiation injury, diabetic foot ulcers, enhanced healing of problem wounds, exceptional blood loss, gas gangrene, intracranial abcess, necrotizing soft tissue infections, osteomyelitis (refractory), skin grafts and flaps (compromised), and thermal burns. All other conditions treated by HBOT are considered off-label uses. Many of these uses are quite commonplace internationally, in countries such as Russia, China, Japan, and Italy. However, by designating these conditions as off-label in the U.S., it means that insurance companies don’t have to reimburse you for the treatment of these conditions with HBOT, saving them billions of dollars. It also means that Big Pharma’s highly profitable blockbuster drugs will continue to be the first course of treatment for these conditions, despite their exorbitant costs, toxic side effects, and detrimental long term effects on your health.
Hyperoxygenation - By increasing the oxygen dissolved in the plasma (the liquid portion of the blood), the lymphatic fluid, and the cerebrospinal fluid, HBOT increases the oxygen available to damaged tissues, stimulating healing. Neovascularization - HBOT stimulates blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and collagen (connective tissue) formation in areas that were previously resistant due to lack of oxygen. Hyperoxia enhanced antimicrobial activity - HBOT reduces or eliminates the effects of toxic substances by increasing the tissue oxygen levels. Hyperoxia enhanced immune response - HBOT activates the white blood cells to fight infection, promoting resistance to infection, as well as wound healing. HBOT also helps to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Yes, it has been cleared by the FDA to treat Acute Altitude Sickness, 510K 072757 under Summit to Sea, LLC.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes, hyperbaric chambers are Class II
medical devices and require a prescription. If your physician will not write a prescription, we may be able to introduce you to a physician in your area who may be more sympathetic.
3/4 inch aluminum internal frame holds the chamber in an open position even when uninflated for easier entry and exit and faster inflation time. Medical grade internal mattress is custom fitted to the chamber and is 98 inches long. Mattress cover unzips for easy cleaning. Closed cell anti-roll bolsters keep the chamber from rolling or rotating in place.
