Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a natural and non-invasive treatment
HBOT is a sum of three essential elements:
- breathing pure oxygen
- under increased ambient pressure
- in a controlled hyperbaric chamber
It is extremely safe and has no side-effects, which would harm your health. Most patients find it pleasurable and relaxing. Treatments typically leave one with a sweet lingering sense of well-being. HBOT helps improve your health condition, prolongs your life and makes it more comfortable and productive.
During therapy one does not breathe the usual 21% oxygen, but pure oxygen through an oxygen mask. In the chamber the pressure is up to twice that of the ambient pressure, which is also why we breathe twice the concentration of oxygen, like we would be breathing pure oxygen in the environment or 9.5 times more as if we would be breathing normal air in the environment, which is why effects on our health and well-being are even better.
Beneficial hyperbaric therapy by means of pure oxygen supply regenerates damaged cells in a human body and prevents further damage from occurring. Users inhale larger quantities of oxygen due to being exposed to a high-pressure environment, which allows more oxygen to be distributed to the damaged tissue and this in turn leads to a quicker recovery. Physical properties of oxygen causes it to dissolve in plasma when exposed to high pressure. Consequently, plasma supplies all of the body’s tissues with oxygen, even tissue with poor blood circulation.
HBOT has a long history
For more than 200 years, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used as a regenerative health treatment and has helped improve the overall well-being of people. Lack of oxygen is one of the most common reasons behind the appearance of numerous illnesses and cell damage.
Hyperbaric therapy (HBOT) is in use all over the world for preventing and improvement of many ailments and bettering general health. Any disease that is ischemic (lack of tissue Oxygen) in nature, or has a concurring edema (tissue or nerve swelling) will see a benefit from HBOT.
HBOT has 6 general amazing effects on the human body
- It is a vasoconstrictor. It therefore reduces oedema or swelling.
- It promotes neovascularization. When oxygen levels are increased fibroblasts divide, producing more collagen and new capillaries (neovascularization).
- It enhances the killing power and activity of white blood cells.
- It kills anaerobic bacteria. It is effective in fighting many infections and is bacteriostatic against anaerobes and stops exotoxin production.
- It promotes faster healing of the “white tissue”. That is tissue that heals the slowest, because it has the least blood supply in the body. Tendons, ligaments, meniscus in the joints, spinal discs, bones and even brain tissues are all capillary deficient and each exhibit more rapid repair.
- It regenerates damaged nervous system cells. It neutralizes the toxic cellular by-products and can return damaged neurons to prior activity.
What is HBOT technology and how it can be used?
It is proven that the pressure inside a hyperbaric chamber has to be at least 160 kPa (1.6 bar, 1.6 ATA) in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
But only a handful of manufacturers on the market are able to produce equipment with such a high pressure. Our company has the knowledge required to achieve this high pressure. Using our own experience and development, we’ve managed to reach new dimensions within the field of hyperbaric medicine. We can proudly state that the AHA Hyperbarics® GmbH company is the European golden awarded manufacturer of innovative hyperbaric chambers, capable of operating at 200 kPa (2.0 bar, 2.0 ATA,15 psi) of pressure.
AHA Hyperbarics is a company specialized in the production of premium hyperbaric chamber systems that ensure safe and effective HBOT treatments. We build highly portable and versatile inflatable HBOT systems for hyperbaric facilities, medical clinics, sports centers and private customers.

The pressure factor in HBOT is equally important to the oxygen
The term hyperbaric denotes a pressure that is higher than that in the normal atmosphere. In order to achieve the systemic effects of oxygen therapy, an operating pressure of at least 1.6 ATA while breathing near 100% oxygen is considered medical treatment. Most clinical HBO2 exposures and medical protocols range from 1.6 ATA-1.8 ATA–2.0 ATA for approximately 1-2 hours, according to various indications.
Simply speaking, appropriate pressure equals effectiveness. The purpose of a hyperbaric chamber is to create a controlled environment for human occupancy. This is controlled by total pressure, partial pressure of oxygen, humidity and temperature. Due to the effects of increased pressure, the amount of a gas (such as oxygen) that is dissolved in a liquid (such as blood) is directly proportional to the concentration of the gas at the surface of the liquid and the ambient pressure that the whole system is under.
Why are we breathing pure oxygen?
When the user breathes 100% oxygen while in a pressurized chamber, the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood is increased. This is called hyperoxia.
Breathing 100% pure oxygen means that the patient does not inhale any additional gases, as opposed to breathing air, where besides approximately 21% of oxygen, there are also nitrogen (approximately 78%) and trace gases (approximately 1%).
Our AHA chambers are certified for 100% oxygen use. It is possible to connect any oxygen source (e.g. an oxygen tank, oxygen installation, oxygen concentrators) to the chamber. The oxygen concentrator generates pure oxygen from air with the aid of pressure-swing adsorption or the PSA technology. Oxygen purity, however, not only depends on the pressure of the oxygen concentrator, but also on the flow the device enables.
