Indications

A healthy person's hemoglobin (the red in red blood cells) holds 97% of the maximum amount of oxygen from normal air or 100% when breathing pure oxygen. The oxygen tension level (or oxygen partial pressure, "PO2") is measured in units measured "mmHg". Whether you breath air or pure oxygen, red blood cells can deliver only a limited level of oxygen to tissue cells, a PO2 of 40 mmHg or less. Injuries, infections, or diseases can cause a drop in this tissue oxygen level down to almost zero!

As we age we loose vital capacity and the ability to effectively obtain adequate oxygen. Some disease conditions impair oxygen utilization. Forceful injuries with swelling can cause excessive pressure that cuts off healthy circulation flow. Swollen tissue causes a loss of oxygen circulation to areas of the body called ischemia. This problem drops the Po2 dangerously low, destroys tissue and slows healing.

Research has shown optimum tissue healing occurs if Po2 can rise to 80 mmHg. Oxygen given in a normal room is not enough to raise tissue oxygen levels that high because red blood cells cannot carry enough extra oxygen to do that. Every day an average adult consumes four pounds of food, two pounds of water and almost six pounds of oxygen. People consume nearly the same amount of oxygen by weight compared to food and water combined! From that six pounds of oxygen about 2 pounds gets into the blood for transport. However, sit inside a secure chamber pressurized at twice the normal air pressure and you breath double the number of molecules. (Hyperbaric pressure allows breathing that is more efficient.) Breathing pure oxygen in such a chamber gives us 10 times our regular amount of oxygen. In one hour we can then inhale 2.4 pounds of oxygen! Instantly red blood cells fill with oxygen and the extra oxygen dissolves directly into the blood fluid. In a few minutes this extra oxygen builds up tissue oxygen levels far above normal. This action has been scientifically proven to stimulate healing function. In order to raise tissue oxygen delivered under compressed atmosphere conditions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy!

Hyperbaric oxygen oxygen improves defender blood cells by turning them from ordinary scavengers into efficient warriors. These defender cells use oxygen as the ammunition to kill pathogens. Can you imagine ten times the normal ammunition supply? This is why people with serious infections have improved under hyperbaric oxygen even after falling under standard regimes. The modern way to raise tissue oxygen levels and purge away ischemic trouble is with hyperbaric oxygen. Most everyone can enjoy the hyperbaric experience. Generally you must be free from claustrophobia and be able to clear changes in air pressure. The actual experience is little different than sitting in an airplane for one hour, without movement! There are two styles of hyperbaric chambers. The single patient monoplace or a larger style multiplace for more than one hour. Either one does essentially the same, a pressurized atmosphere to breath oxygen. What could be easier? Relax and heal with safe, reliable oxygen.

The Hyper-Oxy™ portable Hyperbaric Chamber is considered mild hyperbaric chamber used for oxygen therapy to help restore and maintain health and fitness. Treatment in the Hyper-Oxy™ chamber increases the uptake of oxygen in the body through increased pressurization to 3 psi (pounds per square inch), which causes the blood plasma and tissue fluids to become super saturated with oxygen. The effects are cumulative. The body begins to function more efficiently as it restores its oxygen balance closer to to the natural range it was originally designed to function with. The body utilizes oxygen better, promotes healing and improves health, fitness, stamina and endurance. It helps reverse the physical and psychological effects of oxygen deprivation from air- water pollution- aging.

Treatments In the Hyper-Oxy™ Hyperbaric chamber provide a safe, highly effective method for delivering and increasing the oxygen levels to all body systems. The purpose of increasing the pressure is simply to increase oxygen uptake by dissolving more oxygen onto the bloodstream. Increasing oxygen helps to eliminate harmful toxic substances and stimulate capillary growth and tissue repair.

Increased pressure makes air denser, which provides more oxygen molecules per unit. Laminar flow in lungs is improved under hyperbaric through streamline, creating less resistance in the alveoli, and the transport time of the blood through the alveolar capillaries is greatly reduced, thus increasing the pressure gradient by which oxygen diffuses, results in a higher level of arterial blood saturation with oxygen.
