What about Hyperbaric safety?

A Hyperbaric Treatment is much safer than, for example, flying in a commercial airplane. To eliminate any risk to your safety while inside the chamber, we take several precautions. Precautions include electrically grounding your body to the chamber, and the use of 100% Cotton to eliminate any possibility of static electrical sparking that might occur with synthetic fabrics. Here are more precautions:

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE CHAMBER

• Smoking materials, lighters, or matches
• Hand warmers, or any device that may create heat, fire or sparks
• Vaseline or oil based products like lipsticks, hair oil, hair spray, make-up, and skin lotions
• Hearing aids, some pacemakers, and other electronic devices
• Newspapers, or other loose papers except one book or magazine
• Synthetic garments such as polyester, nylon, rayon, etc.
• False teeth or other appliances; consult the Technician about this.

What about Medications?
Your Doctor will determine what medications may be continued or must be interrupted during your course of HBO2 therapy. Bring your medications with you when you first come in for your initial Hyperbaric Therapy orientation.
