Hyperbaric Chamber

The hyperbaric chamber is a medical device, perfectly equipped to supply high-purity oxygen at a higher pressure than usual, thus increasing the concentration of O2 in our body. In addition, they have an entry and exit system for people with reduced mobility. This treatment is effective, non-invasive and without adverse effects. FIVAN's hyperbaric chambers are individual and reach a pressure of 1.45 ATA.

Hyperbaric Chamber Treatments

The hyperbaric chamber is used in different medical treatments, such as the treatment of non-healing wounds, the treatment of infections, the treatment of poisoning by carbon monoxide and other toxic gases, the treatment of decompression sickness in divers, and the treatment of some neurological disorders, such as gas embolism syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease.

The hyperbaric chamber is generally safe and well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as ear pressure, headache, and fatigue. However, in rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as lung damage or ear injuries. Therefore, the hyperbaric chamber should be used under the supervision of trained professionals and in a suitable environment.

List of diseases where the hyperbaric chamber has been applied:

  1. Decompression sickness in divers
  2. Poisoning by carbon monoxide and other toxic gases
  3. Gas gangrene
  4. Soft tissue and bone infections (e.g., osteomyelitis)
  5. Wounds that do not heal, such as diabetic ulcers and radiation therapy injuries
  6. Traumatic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries
  7. Severe burns
  8. Compartment syndrome
  9. Migraines and other headaches
  10. Tinnitus
  11. Osteonecrosis (death of bone tissue due to interruption of blood supply)
  12. Avascular necrosis (tissue death due to lack of blood supply)
  13. Raynaud’s disease (a disorder that affects blood circulation in the fingers and extremities)
  14. Sickle cell anemia
  15. Radiation injuries
  16. Spinal cord compression syndrome
  17. Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis
