Good health is priceless but usually taken for granted until you or a loved one suffers from a debilitating injury that will take a long time to heal.  There are all types of chronic wounds, including ulcers, embolisms, and diabetic wounds, and they are all extremely difficult to 'shake off' and very frustrating for a person to deal with over a long period of time. However, more and more people have been discovering that hyperbaric chambers offer immediate healing relief for wounds with prolonged benefits to their injury.  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is defined as breathing in 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. This therapy was first discovered and applied in the 17th century. A British clergyman built and operated the first well-known chamber that was pressurized with air or unpressurized using bellows and it was used to treat a variety of different diseases and conditions.

Hyperbaric chambers are being used more due to new studies that have proven that hyperbaric therapy cures many more conditions and injuries than the few known about originally.  They are used daily in hospitals, clinics, and wellness centers all around the world.  Rehabmart is thrilled to offer The OxyHealth Quamvis 320 Hyperbaric Chamber, one of the most durable, portable, soft mild hyperbaric chambers available to the public.  This chamber provides the ultimate in comfort and convenience while fulfilling its main goal:  to make us feel better and heal faster.  Its superior construction is designed to withstand the bumps and lumps of travelling on the road.  Its convenient carrying cases make it easy to unpack, set up, test, and use the chamber within just 15 minutes! 

  

This chamber exceeds all safety requirements, was pressure tested beyond 24 psi, and allows physicians to offer this treatment in-house at their facility without having to send their patients elsewhere.  Low operating pressures of the OxyHealth Quamvis 320 Hyperbaric Chamber make safe and practical treatment possible while providing the optimum oxygen level.  Over 8,500 chambers are already in use today in healthcare facilities with a 100 % flawless safety record. This chamber is FDA cleared as a Class II Medical Device for use in the home, sub-acute care, and in clinics.  The chamber was designed for maximum airflow and inflates to 93 inches in length and 32 inches in diameter and features medical pass-through ports which allow for easy hook up of intravenous lines.

Hyperbaric therapy was developed to treat underwater divers with decompression sickness, also known as 'the bends'. It has since been approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society for 12 other conditions, including embolisms, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, smoke inhalation, radiation tissue damage, gas gangrene, thermal burns, non-healing wounds of all kinds, serious blood loss, intracranial abscess, and crush injuries.  Studies have proven that hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers work miracles on those with developmental conditions such as cerebral palsy and autism, as well as Lyme disease and diabetes. And now, everyone with any sort of wound is taking advantage of the chamber's beneficial qualities, including athletes. Football players like Darren Sharper and Terrell Owens, as well as cyclist Lance Armstrong, have used HBOT to achieve an ideal level of fitness as well as to heal sports injuries.
