Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves placing a patient inside a pressurized chamber to inhale 100% oxygen, significantly higher than the 21% found in normal air. The chamber pressure is elevated to 1.5 to 3 times atmospheric pressure, which can reduce swelling, accelerate wound healing, manage infections, and alleviate pressure from injuries to the head or spinal cord. Sessions typically last from 3 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the treatment needs.
Originally developed for human use in the 17th century and widely adopted by the mid-19th century, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has expanded to veterinary medicine. It is now utilized in many animal hospitals and veterinary schools to treat conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, fractures, and post-surgical recovery. This therapy is beneficial for a variety of animals, though precautions are necessary for older pets or those with specific health issues like high blood pressure.
The chamber is constructed from high-quality aluminum and acrylic, ensuring durability and safety. It operates on 110V/220V voltage and maintains a pressure of 1.3ATA (4psi or 40kpa). The system includes an auto-control breathing pattern and delivers 90% pure oxygen, optimizing the therapeutic effects. It is ideal for physical recovery applications in animal hospitals and can be customized with logos upon request.
Packaging details include a wooden case for the chamber measuring 123x88x105cm and weighing 120kg, a carton box for the air compressor at 54x41x36cm and 19kg, a carton for the oxygen concentrator at 50x45x80cm and 35kg, and a carton for the cooling system at 34x30x21cm and 5kg. This ensures secure transportation and handling.
Common questions addressed include the suitability for vaccinated puppies, no prescription requirement but veterinary consultation advised, usage timing post-feeding to avoid sickness, restrictions for animals with extremely high blood pressure, benefits for weight loss and fracture healing, improved sleep for older dogs, and recommended session durations of 30 minutes to 1 hour based on animal type and condition.
