A stationary hyperbaric chamber is a sealed, pressurized vessel designed for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), where patients breathe pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure. Clinically, it is used to accelerate healing in conditions like decompression sickness, severe infections, or carbon monoxide poisoning by enhancing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.
These chambers are typically regulated as medical devices, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are usually supplied as complex, multi-component systems requiring professional installation and maintenance, often classified based on pressure capacity and intended clinical use.
